    some people just don't have the right frame of mind for see the potential in a car. I have been looking for a notch for a long time and would have loved to be in your shoes. I wouldn't have even posted the question on here. For $500 bucks...... I would have bought it and made it a keeper. I love notches. One day I will have one. Hopefully someday I will come across the situation that you came across. $500 ...... :nice: you lucky SOB. if you have second thoughts give me a call LOL . Good catch by the way.

    I feel the same way for my ragtop as you do for the notch. I have put much more money into my stang than I can ever get on resale but it dont matter. I get so much more out of it then I could ever put into it. Sure I could buy a really nice stang for about half the money I put into mine but it wouldnt be the same and less than half the fun for me.

    Actually I may be selling it as I have way too many stangs right now, but I just cant stop taking them in. I'll get some pics up soon of it. I am kinda in a unique situation in that I have a friend with a salvage business/tow company and he does lein sales all the time and he knows I love stangs so he kinda gives me first shot when he gets em. SO I come across these deals alot. If you lived closer maybe we could work something.

    For 500 dollars i really dont think it matters. You can always part out whatever you put into it. I really dont think you can go wrong here.
