Gotta love the bargain hunters. If you want a particular car...show up with cash at the door, not hot air over the phone. That's how I got mine. I could see a bidding war on the horizon so I drove 50 miles to look at it and bought it on the spot for $18K: a bargain at the time given the original drivetrain and the amazing lack of rust. I see the 71/72 455 HO cars cars going up rapidly since no one can find any affordable 73 SD455s anymore, and few people like the 74 restyling. Congrats on the sale, but mark my word, you will be kicking yourself in a year or two.
