Stan, you need to keep up! @ayilar dropped some subtle hints about selling it, then the drive to Carlisle (or back) with @Ripinator at the wheel.
Introducing a 1970 300 TNT convertible

Well, @commando1 will tell you that I drove most of that trip and he'd be right -- but indeed, @LocuMob is right. FWIW, when I sell a car, I want whoever buys it to be thoroughly comfortable with and knowledgeable of what they are getting. For the former, there is nothing better than driving together halfway across the country to get a feel for the car. For the latter, that is one of the reasons why I document everything in threads (other reasons include saving the info in one convenient place, and helping others save time finding parts or seeing how things can be done).

Wow, "As The FCBO Turns". I had no idea this was in the works, great catch @Ripinator. I would have jumped at the chance as well, probably the only one I would scrap my projects for.

A great find and a very nice color combination!
Do not ye worry. I had gathered from your posts, after I bought the car, that you might be interested if I ever sold off the TNT. So did a few other members. The only reason why I did not publicize the sale ahead of time, is because of my promise to Rip that he'd have first go. I did tell a couple of people that the deal was going to go through, but they were folks who had made formal offers to buy it and so I wanted to let them know out of courtesy.

Thanks, you are a man of your word. I knew I was a number of members behind in line, but no worries, I’ll just have to stalk @Ripinator now, lol. Hope to see more of this one now!

No kidding. Even I knew about this beforehand.

Good way to prime his pump!
I also arranged for a test drive to a promised buyer before my former 73 NYB went on the market.
Good to keep cars under the FCBO (or Dock) umbrella so they can be tracked. There's a whole other group of C-Bodies out there that still remain behind the curtain....

I was thinking of this when I typed that (somebody's modified it, though).

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I planned to make an official announcement, but since I picked up the car, its been a busy time. Here are a few pictures from the Garage Mahal:

To make room, I sold the Parts Car to a guy from Chicago. It is my hope to reduce the fleet to just these two cars. Therefore, my 73 Navajo is now for sale. I'll post an ad soon. Here's a couple more pics:

You need to get more shelves and boxes in there.

Love this car. You need a white one to complete the set. Are you bringing this one or the ‘66 to Carlisle?

The plan is to bring both the '66 and the '70 convertibles to Carlisle. . .
I believe that vac. hose attaches to the underside of the air cleaner.

Thanks, David. I'll hafta check the FSM to see why vacuum is needed in the air cleaner. Maybe its associated with a flap in one of the snorkles to control air temperature during warmup.
