Well, the time has come to relieve myself of the '74. It's purpose of being my driver while I get the '70 roadworthy again has been fulfilled as of yesterday.

The trouble is, the car knew this, and connived to keep itself with me permanently. To wit:

When filling up yesterday the thing elected to pour several expensive gallons from somewhere out the driver's side of the tank. This was a fun day...

I have no intention of spending money on this car. It's been established it's a fairly unique example & rare year of a solid 142.

Make it go away. Any interested parties can read it's saga here and contact me off-line for "the good side of the story." Or see it represented on Sacramento CL.

To those of you who helped me get it through this past month, thank you!

Cheers, -Sean
