    Been eyeing this car for years. It was on top of a hill barely visible from the highway, behind a locked gate and a no trespassing sign. Left a note in the guys mailbox a few weeks ago, and darned if he didn't call me back.:cool: $500. '82 tags on the plates. 283/glide. Lots of rat s--t.

    Very nice. There is a thread here on the HAMB about a 4 door to 2 door conversion. Either way you definately got your monies worth.

    That is the right way to start, get it running first, then worry about the bells and whistles later.

    It looks like you persistence paid off, nice score for $500. I love CO cars.
    My brother lived out there for years. Once when he was visiting MN his young son saw a old car here and pointed at it saying, "dad what is that funny looking stuff on that car?". Turns out it was the first time he had seen (or at least noticed) rust holes on a car.

    That is sweet! Colorado is an awsome place. I was in Denver and Colorado Springs couple of months ago. Lots of Tin still in the woods, with a few very nice daily drivers in COS.
