Sam, I hate you
Wasn't the previous owner of that car registered on this board? I remember him posting on here a few times a couple years ago. A Doctor or something, somewhere in the Phoenix area? Awesome car
...can I have it?

Hey Bill - I hate you too
and let me think about your request
!
You're good Bill. I bet Bruce that someone on this site would put 2 + 2 together and figure this car out. Jim K. is the fella you referred to and what a prince of a man he is. I have been following (read lusting for) his ride for awhile now. When I first spoke to Jim I could quickly tell that he was a stand up gentlelman. A very passionate and thoughtfull enthusiast to be sure. His restoration of this car highlights his impressive talents in automotive restoration and it is ONLY a hobby for him. Jim found many of the original QA paint daubs thru out the car and was sharp enough to leave them be only placing a light coat of oil over the metal to preserve them. Front springs still had the tags on them too. Original gas tank is nearly flawless now. The car's history began very close to where I grew up which further interested me. I believe there is a bunch more history of this car to unearth which I am anxious to get started on. To say this car is a dry car is an understatement. When the original owner returned from Vietnam he bot this car purely for drag racing and a new camaro as a daily driver. He never let the 300 see moisture and went to great pains to store it in a dry environment (not easy to do in Ohio). Here are a couple of shots:
