damn!
Well it was close
I was all set up to buy an Oval and an '73 IRS pan locally here in Virginia... This morning the damn Eurovan blows the oil cooler in the driveway and sends a cold cold puddle of black gold all over the place. Why does this really matter? Because I need that POS for work! Now I have to use the old Chevy truck and buy a 6x10 cargo trailer plus a steel frame long roof rack (for 16' trim boards). Essentially there went my $4K for play time ... Um, Merry Christmas... sniff sniff

Sorry to hear that. But you know what they say, things happen for a reason.

bummer. you have been a long time waiting on an oval on IRS too. sorry to hear it. just put a hex on the guy so they won't sell until you have cash again.

Rob Lunsford, I guy I work with. I don't think you have met him. He doesn't belong to a club or go to shows(don't know why). It is a nice car and a great deal. He has a line on a 51 Split (clean, untouched, original) so he has to sell the Oval project.

Semi good news. IF IF IF the problem is what I think it is, then the fix is like $10 O-rings around the oil cooler.
That would be sweet, but I still really need a trailer for work. ... I will keep you all updated in the next few weeks as to how it plays out. In a way I could just get the pan and work it up slow. Then next year start to look for a body. It seems that most peoples pans take a while anyway to get right. Zen, what do you have going on man! Thanks!

Sweet! looks like a fair trade man...I would deffinately chose the Ghia over the Porsche any day but maybe thats because I cant afford insurance!
But...all in all a very NICE car!
