Buying another 72 SE in the next few days......... 
After the abomination I bought on ebay awhile back, I decided to look for another 72 locally. One that I could look at before buying. I had sold off some parts and put about 4k to the side and was just starting to look, when one fell in my lap.
The asking price was 2.5k which sounded a little high given the condition of the car.I decided to go look at it anyway. I looked at it today. I never once asked the guy to come down on the price...but when he offered at for 1k minus the engine and trans, I could not pass that up. It has a 360 in it with a 3 speed manual hacked in the floor. Originally a 318 buckets, auto, console car. The hideaways are missing, replaced by 71 Grilles. My main concern was the body as I have several engines and transmissions that I can put in the car.
The body looks pretty good. I will have to replace the fenders, drivers floor pan has a few small holes, and trunk has a few holes on drivers side. Much better than the 2 junkers I cut up recently. I will post some pics when I get it home. While its far from perfect, what it needs is well within my capabilities.
