As for your numbers matching issue. No big deal except if you see someone with one of these in hand, put the pedal to the medal and don't look back.

Still going round and round with the transport company to get car picked up from Herb.
They were SO good when I bought my '61 in South Carolina. Same company 5 years later and things seem to have gone to guano.
Poor communications, argumentative, what-have-you. They are about 1/2 day from getting fired and I'll start over. Grrrrr....
Beautiful Daytona car....some say it's too dark for them; I like it a lot...nearly bought one last month!

One reason I was thrilled to find this car 90 minutes away and have my buddy pick it up for me.
Yeah, I like the fact that its nearly black- black was my other choice, but this has a neat bit of color pop to it.

My wife and I were watching last year's premiere of "Boston's Finest" (the reality cop show) and almost every call was in Hyde Park... she looked at me and said "THAT"S where you grew up???" 
I said it didn't look like that in the 70's...

Hyde Park has cleaned up since the 70's when you lived there.

Steve,
Because I have followed your postings over time, I will "assume" that you do not want to get too far underwater with this car.
I an curious, if you already have a 3 page shopping list.......
What are some of the major expense items needed for your car?

The most expensive? Probably correct seat belts and a newer glove box door. The door I have is OK, but a new one would look great and I can sell the old one. Needs a correct steering wheel, too.

The only big upgrade I'm thinking about is some repro bolt on knock off wheels. I just think they look bitchin'.

The majority are fairly unecessary, no-rush cosmetic items. Incorrect unmarked hoses. Wrong clamps. The engine compartment needs a freshening. I find that sort of detailing to be fun. Some interior stuff as well. Not a ton of $ items.

One more question about these pages - do they have dollar amounts next to each item, and do you leave them in open view around the house?
