I had help in getting my 5spd. Still only had a few
records..but of the records that were there was one
for the t-belt..done 10k ago :-)
I had Tim go check it out for me. The only pics I seen
of it before I drove out to MN to sell my Pearl V8 :-(
& fly back to Detroit to pick the car up were a few
blurry cell phone pics. But the pic of the shifter was
VERY CLEAR :-).

& of course there was Allen..for who all this is to
blamed on! He spoted the car. Thats a story unto
itself!
 Everything looks to be in great shape on the car. The
only thing I'm doing to it is TURNING IT INTO A
MONSTER :-)

 OH & would you all hate me if I told you all I may
have gotten another spectacular deal on a 5spd????
Buahahaahahahhahaaaaaaaa

 Ron Mit 5spd..for now

Just for the record, I only paid for the car after I
drove down to 
see/drive/inspect it. Never pay for car you  havnt
inspected or had 
someone 
else inspect....very risky
