Thanks guys. I didn't see the car. He said it was originally Grecian Green with black deluxe interior. I think he said it was an RS as well.

Good deal...nice work to find the original car. How did that come about to put you both together?

The car was still registered. I got his address and sent him a letter including a picture of the block pad. A couple days later the phone rang. We only live about an hour apart so he drove down as soon as he could and we loaded it up.

I would have sent the letter in ransom letter style with cutout letters... &quot;If you ever want to see your block again.....&quot; lol Kidding


It would have been funny though...
