But is the tubing at the from of the rear wheel well normal?

pics related to previous post Sorry, here are the pics. Didn't seem to load last time.

Brake cooling? So here is something else I didn't expect. I'm attaching a copy of the Marti report and a couple of pics. The Marti report shows "extra cooling". Does this refer to the side brake cooling ducts which I thought were not active on the GT/CS?. As you can see in the two pics...

Ah..that's helpful. I'll ask Paul to take a look. Thanks! More pics later tonight. Steve

Inititial word back on the car is very clean. Very grimy and interior was not treated very well. Driver seat needs repair in a couple of places. No dash cracks, one spot of rust near shock mount. Need to give it a better look. Than VIN thing is really odd though. Gonna look for a build...

Mud and snow. So the first info is coming in on the car. Lots of pics. Many are close-ups so not great pics. Here is the first and real confusing thing though. Vin is missing. Take a look at the pic. Thoughts?

Well as it turns out the open transport was probably not the right idea. Weather sucked and the car looked pretty bad coming off the truck. Paul is going to clean it up so he can take an initial look.

Update - Car to be dropped off today in Illinois Well it took longer than expected and the driver missed his delivery window Friday afternoon so had to wait until today to get delivery on the car. A bit concerned about the cold weather up there because I have no idea what condition the...

Sorry but are you saying early number in the auction line-up?

Car Shipped yesterday Well the car is on it's way to my friend's shop in Illinois. Should arrive in 6 days. Put it on an open transport to save $. Hope that wasn't a mistake. Will have Paul take good pics when it arrives.

But if the tank can be saved, its better to do that correct? Thanks. I'll take a look.

Shipping scheduled and a couple of questions Ok, so the car ships tomorrow. Heading to Illinois and should arrive there Friday. That's when we get the first chance to see what we really have. Unfortunately it will be my mechanic friend Paul who will be able to see and check it over as I am in...

Thanks, Ron. I think the car will be leaving tomorrow. Need to check on that and will let you know if that is not the case.

Actually I have heard good things about them. Almost went with them when shipped my '68 f100 but used DAS and was very pleased. Looking at Trusted First Auto right now. Dealing with a guy named Charles. Seems well versed on shipping vintage cars. Will let you know how that goes.

Thanks. You are right....its all good. Shipping scheduled but probably not much to update on for a while. Thanks.

(...somehow in a very strange way I think I lost control of this thread)

Thanks for the welcome. I hand't noticed the radio and wondered what that box was in the footwell. Car should ship in the next week. Will take more pics when I can. Steve

So Nate, another very intriguing question I have is the argent silver painted tail light panel. So strange that this reclusive mother and son (he never worked and always lived with his mother after his father died in 1963 in an industrial accident) would buy this car and the mother would order...

Thanks Tim. Yeah, they say there is no place for emotion when buying cars but I can't seem to remember that. Ah, what the hell I'll just fess up here and tell you. I paid $13,750 for the car. In my view that was a stiff price for a car that I did not even know the value of, did not see or did...

Slime Gold is safe with me....
