I hated to get rid of it because it was a beast on the drag strip and got 16 mpg. The frame around the rear wheels was cracking in several places. I put it for sale and took each wannabe buyer to the rear end and showed them the cracks. One guy took it, pulled the motor and put it in another vehicle scrapping the original body. Looking at what prices are now for a vehicle like that, I'd have been better off putting it in the barn and saving it for a later sale but money was tight back in the 70's so off it went. Same with the 56 chevy coupe with the first factory in dash AC I sold for $50 because the slush box 2 speed tranny went out.</blockquote>
