Does that mean that Brain is now the Copolocater? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Found the car Thursday and bought it Friday. It is still with Gary V in Charlotte. Car was in the last row in the Green field. Black paint with big rear tires. Older drag car look. The car has 9000 miles. Will need a total restoration to stock, but is presentable as is. The car needs rear quarters and some wheel houses but the trunk floor and frame rails are still in car. All floors are good. All the clues were there. Hi-performance disc brakes with correct dated parts. ZL/2 hood components all present and all piercings in the right place. BB heater box, correct frame stands, and factory spoilers. Four speed car. X44D80, 711, 69-69, 07A. Owner history may provide more clues. Was a WV car for years. The car will go to a good friend. They are still out there. Just do your homework...BKH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]

You may have saved it from obscurity.

Congrats from me too Brian. Although a little jealous, I'm glad that guys like you have taken the time to research these cars, that you know what to look for, and are willing to make the move when necessary. Good luck with this one, and even better luck in the future.

Dennis

P.S. Thanks for the advice last week. We're back to work!

The car was tight and rattle free, but smoked like a bear. Ask the girls in the drop top [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img] Miata!...BKH
