Wayne, All I can say is that my '64 Notch 'S' has changed my life :) I love taking the little guy out for a spin - its one of the most fun-to-drive vehicles I've had the pleasure to get behind the wheel of. Mine came fully assembled, in pretty good shape - some dings, a bit of rust, but essentially whole. I dropped $US3500 for it and haven't looked back once. She goes in for a full restore in October...which should tell you how much I love this car.
