Are you talking about the one lurking in the garage, or the catalina? I'm talking the one in the garage. Sorry, but I don't think I'm in the market for that kind of money transfer! I'm trying to get rid of my own car- in the description.

Hi Tom, I think we met at the doughnut shop in Huntington Beach. Can you show a picture of your convertible with the aluminum Pontiac motor. You have some neat stuff I wish I had an extra $40,000.00 because I would be a buyer.

I'm not trying to tell you how to run your auctions but if you start the bidding low and set a reserve of $40K you will get a lot more interest in the car.

Your sure know how to put together some SWEET rides, which completely baffles me as to what you have up your sleeve by selling some of them.

I need to sell 3 cars to do 2.I want to pull the alu 389 out of the lemans convert,replace with a 400 and sell.I want to sell the SD clone and I did sell the GTO.I think the alu 389 belongs in a 61 so I will shop for a bat wing or a ventura.I have a complete 455 correct RAV engine in my garage which I want to put in a 69 GTO.SOoo that is my long range plan.Tom

Your plans sound about as complicated as mine, I just don't have all the rare stuff you have!
