I have a few, but I don't know where they are. I believe the publisher passed away.

FWIW, I think Torreano's car was Mayfair Maize. I don't think he owns it anymore.

Yep, the publisher (can't recall his name) passed away a few years back.

Todd, I'm gonna hunt through some of my old archives and see if I can locate any of those old Goatfinder GTO Classifieds you're hunting for . . .

BVZ,

I had a bunch of Goatfinders, but most were from 1999 - 2001. There was an interesting page from the March 1999 issue, apparently submitted by Bill Knafel himself, on his '68 RAII GTO racer.

Guys, I have got approximately 25 of these goatfinder magazines. I still look thru them and laugh about the cars that were available back then at affordable prices.

I know the white/ black spoiler Judge is 1 of 51, so if that's the code of the package, that's what he meant.

Just have two from late 1999.

Read the description of the RAIV black '69 convertible. Where is that one? Looks like I high-lited some, but never called.

Ask Joe, because he eventually found his RA II bird!
