[BUIZILLA]

Jim, I almost bought that car from Ted a couple years back. I spent about a 1/2 day at his house in NC checking it out with a friend of mine that KNOWS Chevelle things... Ted is actually a neat guy, he also had a red '69 Chevelle as a race car and a Daytona Edition Monte Carlo... It was pretty darn original, except for the replacement vinyl upholstery... did it have the dent in the left rear quarter panel when you got it? he forgot to tell me about that, before I drove 900 miles to get there, he told me he either leaned against it or fell against it, I forgot really, but it had been there for at least 25 years he then said... he also raised his selling price $2000 from the time I left home with truck and trailer, until I got there the next day, an 1,800 mile wasted round trip, I had a deal at $18.5k with cashiers checks in hand, I get there and it's now $20.5k FIRM, he told me that a BIG Chevelle parts guy in NC (we all know who that is) offered him more money the night before so he raised the price before I got there, if I didn't pony up right then, the other guy would, so being I don't do business like that, I left carless, the car still stayed for sale for a while after that, on the same Chevelle vendors website... I do remember it being 95% original paint, in great shape, except for a touchup on one front left corner... and the dent... I'm glad to see what you've done, it IS a solid as a rock car and deserves preservation.

Jim
