 |
|
How many thing owners own more than one thing?
I have two 73s bought the green one while i was looking for a local white 73.... didnt have much luck at the time so I ended up settling and buying this one. (the green one will soon be lowered)
Then of course i found a white 73 so i was forced to buy that one too lol
(the top and some other things got messed up during shipping so it most likely wont have the blue top anymore... cant seem to find a seller that carries them)
both tucked away in the garage... hard to believe not too long ago my garage had my 66 single cab and 66 camper in it... now i am all 181
anyone else out there with more than one?

I have 4. 1 in very good shape, 3 others severely rusted. I'm planning to buy a 5th (no title but less rust) to help save 1 or 2 of the rusted ones...

With that ebay listing for the 499$ top. you should be able to push it. Your car was picked up and shipped to you with a blue top, you should be given a replacement blue top or the money to replace it.

| 8 and 1/2. 4 restored, next to restore wife's 73 auto-stick with factory air. Then for me a 73 black and white police type car, chopped top lowered, Moon tank in front, big siren on fender, beacon light, spot light through the windsheild frame, and cookie cutters. Don't know about the rest. The 1/2 car is a joint venture with my brother. |
