Don't be surprised if they just put the car on a large fork lift and drop it in your truck. Desert Valley is located in north Phoenix, Hidden Valley is located in Maricopa, Arizona... south of Phoenix off I-10.

Thanks for the offer Chris. I wish I could think of something I need that would alos be affordable. Of course while you are out there you should at least look for some 70 fenders

I need a perfect passenger side 1/4 panel for 70-72 'S'/442 hardtop fastback style. They should have something there. I have tried to buy a whole car for there,but they wouldn't do it. I could go on with a whole slew of parts to look for,but the 1/4 would be first.

While you're in the area, you should treat yourself and buy this car:

Yes. It arrived Friday and I picked it up. All is good.
Check for some trunklids,preferably one from a 70,that does not have that 1" bar along the bottom. I'm sure they want a premium for them,but for a perfect 70 trunklid,it might be worth it.
