I feel like the teacher in Ferris Bueller's day off. Bueller... Bueller...
Oh well, I have only seen a few birds out here anyway- makes mine all that more special when I get it done and take it to shows!

Ahhhhhh crap- totally forgot about you 400 plus! Good thing one of us is on the ball! I was just over there Monday , i keep forgeting to contact you and see if you'd let me look at your sweet ride. That is a beautiful bird you got there.
I think I have seen one in Mt. Pleasant years ago- the guy redid it himself. A 68 Red vert400 4 sp. # match. He and his wife were out cruising... Nice ride.
I am in Iowa city Jerry.
I have yet to see one in Desmoines, but I don't get that way too much.

Jerry, pm me before you come up. I can meet up with you if you have time.

He pitches, we was up there a lot this past fall, played in Cedar Rapids, Ames, Iowa city. The university is building a new ball stadium and have been on us to come up. We will be up as soon as they start practice because they want him to sit in on it, and they start this month the coach said.

Hey Craig - I forgot to tell you when I was back that an old high school buddy of mine in Kalona still has his yellow coupe. 400/4 speed dual quads. Runs down at Eddyville once in a while and will hit show in Cedar Rapids. He's not on here though.
There is also rohrt (FGF screen name) and I think he is in the CR area.
