I thought we were supposed to get chicks with these cars? Bless their hearts.... they did not have a clue did they? You did good Glen...... My banners were backordered...GRRR

Steve beat most of use to the DeTomaso punch. He bought his 'Goose wrecked in a North Carolina yard for $1,800 after talking the guy down from $2,500 because parts would be hard to get, that was 1969. He got some parts sent from Italy and fixed the front fender with fiberglass. He said he saw the car advertised for sale years later as "never wrecked". It just wasn't a good "short track" car...
