No, but I'd like to have a '67 Squareback though. Just not that one... Sorry to hear about your Murphy's Law weekend. > Friday morning I was the not so proud owner of a 67 Squareback. My wife > said it was cursed and she may be right. We wanted a Squareback, just not > the one we had. Too many troubles, too much wasted cash, and a cracked > case. Anyway, I'd worked out a deal to trade our squareback for a 53 GMC > 3/4 ton truck(in peices) and a trade for a 65 Euro spec Squareback plus > cash for my grandparents 88 Chevy van. The van is a really nice 44,000 > original mile custom job. It even has a TV. I didn't care, at the time, > about the GMC since I was getting another SB. Well, things were going OK > to start with. I helped my buddy load up my 67 SB on his trailer. That > evening the van trade fell through and the guy picked the cream puff van > apart.
