How much did you pay for your A Body

I was going to look at a slanty that was rattle canned flat black after work. On one of my breaks I checked CL and saw this 72 Swinger project for sale. Instead of looking at the slanty I went and checked out the Swinger. The seller stated that he literally found the car in a field, hooked up a good battery and poured gas in the carb and she started right up and he drove it onto his trailer. He got the car home, stripped it down and took the rolling chassis to the body shop. 10 months later, the only work done on the car was the trunk, under hood, and door jambs were painted. And the body shop went out of business!!! The seller was done with this project. He was asking $1600 for it and that was with the original 318, another 360, a 8 3/4, and boxes of parts. We shook hands transferred funds and loaded the car on my trailer and I took it home. Went back the next day to get all of the boxes and the big stuff. This all took place when I was living in Cali, and this was an original Cali car. 8 months later, I took her on her first drive around the block and haven't looked back since!!!!!!
