<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Bill Pritchard</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Pretty [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img] for sure, but I am guessing the asking price is wishful thinking.

Thanks for the compliment! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Neat car but price is waaaaay too high given what recent ones have sold for.

Also, they messed up on a very simple simple but major item on this car: It's a Los Angeles built car so it should have the black spray-on primer as the underside finish. Only the Norwood, Ohio built cars had the red oxide dipping process at their assembly plant. That would be a very difficult thing to correct now.

P.S. (by &quot;Los Angeles&quot; I mean the Van Nuys plant, of course.)

This is really a great car. M H did have this car for some time but did not finish it. I bought it while it was at his shop. We changed many incorrect things but left the red oxide alone. I probably should have fixed that too but kind of liked it. The deluxe blue interior is one of my all time favorites. Of all the musclecars I've owned the '70 RA IV TAs are my favorite drivers. For years they were overlooked but I think more have come to appreciate them. I wish him luck with his sale.

Yes the Blue dlx guts make the car absolutely irresistable... but White over Blue had me with the 67 PC. Understated sport... with out the flash. makes me do a double take and then I realize just how clean looking the color scheme looks.
