    Hello to everyone & I would like to say I have enjoyed reading this forum for some time.
    I finally registered and am currently running a '69 GT500 convertible when the weather allows.

    Cheers
    Trent

    Welcome, very nice car you have. Those CJ motors are tops. However, unless you have snow and ice tires, better keep her in the garage til spring. Cheers and happy driving.

    Small world. I know Fred and have moved many cars for him to and from auction, purchase etc., in my stacker.
    He has an amazing collection of rare cars and is a stickler for original paint cars. I don't know the car you bought but knowing Fred you got a very original piece - congrats.

    Duffy's is great, one of my favorite dealers. I bought a '68 1/2 Cobra Jet coupe from them in great shape and at a great price. What a powerful car that was.
