     I agree with Ken. There are a few issues. I am going over Tuesday. Maybe I will see it....You would think they could have found a fender skirt!

    Mecum website says it sold for $72,500.  

    Issues aren't always a bad thing.  

    I know the car I just bought has issues.  Heck, I wouldn't have been able to afford it if it didn't have issues.

    John introduced me to Cussler about 20 years ago at some club function. He had a convertible with him then, but not sure if this was it. That one had some issues also.....I remember it having power window switches from a 70's GM car and a few other non original parts. At the time I had no idea who he was, but he was very nice and liked to talk about cars. He probably thought I was pulling his leg (or an idiot) when I asked what he did for a living.
