Although I have enough projects to consider, this car intrigues me; I've 
always wanted either a 64 Classic Typhoon or a full luxe Ambassador 
2-door hardtop. With their roof line, to be they best embody the 
ultimate look of the 64-65 American 2-door hardtop. And this car, like 
most 990H's, is fully equipped.

Is there anyone in the area that can take a look at it for me and get 
some photos? From the ad and photos it looks like it will need a lot of 
work (looks like a $5000 money pit to me to get it where I would want it 
to be) but I may be wrong.  Does anyone know if the dash from a 65-66  
Ambassador would fit? I believe the cars share the same basic structure.

On an unrelated note, who has had a B-W automatic transmission 
overhauled?  I will need to get one serviced and the shop told me, after 
advertising $399 for most RWD 3-speed transmissions, mine will be $595. 
That's probably fair but I don't like the thought that they are taking 
advantage of me because the car is somewhat rare and unusual.

Thanks,
