[QUOTE="blucobra03, post: 16203261, member: 3707"] AJ, good to hear from you, my friend. Glad all is well with you. I appreciate you reminding me of the sale and you are correct, at the time you were selling it I was looking at a 1970 Boss 302, as I used to own one right after I got out of the Army and was trying to work a deal to get this one just like it.
