I saw the Olds at the NEC in 2004 - it IS massive. Was in beautiful nick though? WHat size garage/s you got? hehe

Hats off to you though ...

I own two pre 73's - a 65 Mustang coupe and a '66 fastback being (slowly) restored. The coupe was also at the NEC in 2004 on the Mustang 40th anniversary stand ...
