jim blair of blair's equip rental on hooper ave
in silverton is who owns it.
i tried to buy it from him before he restored it.
it doesn't come out very much
he might park it out in front
of his buisness a few times a summer.
i'm sure if you go there and ask
he will show it. his kids work there also.
they have a few mopars.
he is friends with jimmy from jacks auto parts.

i haven't been to the tr cruise in a long time...
my driver bee needs some work
and i have been too wrapped up
in the a12 bee and 71 rr resto
so i've sort of ignored it :icon_neutral:...

20k will buy you a hell of alot of car
in the 71-2 bbody class in this economy.
you are either not looking hard enough or
you are being way too picky!

the guy owns 521 restorations
his name is jeff

She's a beauty

i agree

the only knock that hurts its collector value is
1. the color change
2. how well the change was done
it would be worth more in orig color....

How long have you been looking? I know we got back into the Mopar stuff back in 2004. It all started when I began searching for a 70 Charger to replace one my dad had when I was growing up. I still have not found one that fit the bill. However, during the hunt for that 70 Charger I have found many deal that were either to good to pass up or just a car that I thought I had to have! A 71 Satellite Sebring Plus (less than 50k original miles), a 73 Cuda, a 71 Dart Swinger that I bought on Ebay, a 70 lime green Duster, and multiple parts cars. And even though I still do not have a 70 Charger and I am still looking everyday. I went ahead and bought a 71 Charger because it was the color combo that I was looking for and it was a great buy! Coolest part of the 71 Charger project was once the car was at the body shop and they rolled the window up to start removing them....the window had "CRUSH IN 30 DAYS" in shoe polish! We saved it from the teeth of the crusher!!!

I spent two hard months looking, found one I wanted and the guy wrecked it at the carwash getting it clean for me. That just happened a few days ago.

 

[carcrazyguy]

Does he still want to sell it? I might be interested. I need a 71 B body parts car.

 

[zextrot]

He didn't wreck it that bad.

 

[carcrazyguy]

Okay so does he want to sell it? :grin:
