Yep, I sure do. In fact, Kevin W, of the First Gen MC Club (the one who built the replica of the '72 MC "Coke Machine"), has one ... saw it when I visited him in SC a few years ago.

Here is a website, too:

That's a great example, EPA2.

You really could do stuff like that - and you know what, it was fun when you ordered the car !

Typically, you'd end up with an MSRP that was very atypical, but then you had alot more room for horse tradin' so it never ended up as bad as it started.
