Hi Everyone. Just wanted to thank you all for the help and specifically the suggestion on contacting Paul at Auto Kennel. I purchased the '72 hot rod (blue hood/deck lid) he recently listed. Waiting to get the car still but very excited. I had been looking for cars and had not heard of AutoKennel/Paul until you all suggested him. My experience was really easy and Paul was beyond informative on everything to do with this car and early Pcars in general. Appreciate the help!

Wow, thats awesome! I was following that one as it had an interesting look. Think you've made a really good choice there with a long-hood and 3.2. Autokennel is a great place to ogle at cars. Share plenty more details once you have it

Great car. Fantastic choice. I’ve driven a bunch of rallies with the previous owner. Hope you’ll carry on that tradition.

FWIW...

You better get some LWB driving experience under your belt before you start thrashing this '72 monster, or else you'll be introduced quite quickly into a guard rail or telephone pole.

I'm not criticizing you, just advising. These cars can and will bite you, especially if you're a newb. Tread carefully. These are not normal cars and you can't drive them like they are.

Yep..appreciate that. I’m intending to take it very easy for a while.
