I would be able to do all the work myself, so not a lot of money for labor....I might consider just flipping it also...I'll be back.... thanks !

O.K., I'm blind,....
A 68....[&:]
I stilll think that 12 Gs is a little high, but I'd nail it at 9.

I was basing my opinion based on when he was operating as T. Michaelis back in the seventies. He was selling cars on consignment but sometimes wasn't giving the owner's some or all of their money. [] I think someone took him to court but don't remember the outcome but he did change the name of the company.

Also a couple different people locally inquired about specific cars and when they flew out to look at them, they weren't even close to as described.

Caveat emptor.

Shark...
[align=left]Im not saying he is an angel, and I dont believe people really change once they have been busted. I said I thought he is a jerk. That said, I based my opinion on the people he sent, the cars he bought from Mr. Sauls estate, and the way his reps presented themselves. I have never bought a car from him... I couldnt afford one!
That said, I still stand by what I said about Skips find. That is one hell of a car, original intake set up or not, and to find one living in a barn IMHO is damn near holy grail-ish. A 70 LS6 or a L88 of course would be better, but I would take a restorable 427 3 way anyday!
