Don't drop people named Mike. Also, dropping a mic, is something rap stars do and it destroys equipment. They don't care since they grew up in the hood.

Is that the original seat material? I kinda like them. I take it why the chrome smaller air cleaner was used inside the housing. What parts are missing? I assume it is numbers matching? Looks like a good starting point.

Very nice find. The broadcast sheet is in great condition, the printing is still clear and legible.

Yes good score. This car was only for sale for literally 2-3 hours. I phoned on it for a friend but I assume it was you who had already tied it up. Way to go. Not many left out there. I have a restored 70 W31 bench 4 speed car in burgundy mist with white stripes and white guts. A blast to drive with the TO 3.91 gears!
