Re: [ASC McLaren ] Need a parts car Capri

Found a tentative donor in a junk yard in Virginia. Roof and
Quarters are SUPPOSED to be rot free. It's SUPPOSED to be straight
with no accident damage. Don't know the price yet.

Dear old dad is a saint...he says he'll take the car trailer down and
pick it up. Probably at least 7 hours down and back, a 15 hour trip.

I see an old 8" limited slip rear-end in his future for his 65 Falcon
restoration project....maybe a power steering conversion too...
