Jon,

I don't know if it is for sale or not. The guy who called was looking for a 69 WS block for a Judge he owned. We got talking about cars, and he also said he was maybe looking for a 70 455 GTO motor, which I told him I had.

He said he also would be interested in a body shell for the 70 GTO since it had a hole in the roof and rust in the rear, and asked if I had any leads. I told him I would look.

Different cars come and go. There is a guy I know about two hours away with a nice 72 Lemans. It's Lucerne Blue with white/black bucket seat interior. It has a 350-2V, but upgraded to 4V. It was a driver, but it developed some engine problems. He blames it on the carb, but I suspect it might have jumped a tooth on the timing chain. It has little power and spits back through the carb. It is $1500, and no it isn't an endura car. It has some minor rust, like bottom of fenders and just behind rear wheels, but it isn't bad. The car is very presentable and the paint shines. He called me last fall, maybe October. He may have sold it by now, but the only way to know is call and find out.

Drop me an email directly. Let me know when you're going to be back down here.

Mike
