Dan,

I bought my '71 in '92 (#1739) and looked at a few cars at Mayberry.

At the time I remember he did have some pretty expensive ones, especially

low milage cars, and GTS's. He may be inflating the price some but not

a whole lot if he did buy at the peak.



Good luck!



ps: I will also be in Vegas, will arrive Thursday afternoon...
