Found it in Tennessee off ebay. I was a little nervous about buying a car from ebay but so far so good. I just got confirmation today that it will be delivered tomorrow so I'm wicked excited. Sure it will sit in my garage until spring but at least I can stare and start working on some things.

Thanks guys.
kwkenf, I'm sure I will have lots of questions so I appreciate it.
Well I got a call from the driver and he's about an hour away. Is it weird to be this excited, I'm grinning from ear to ear!

He was a dealer yes and the procedure was very easy. It was shipped right to my door, they handeled all the paperwork at the border. From Tennessee to Calgary and all the crap at the border it cost me $1700.00. To ship it to Great Falls and me picking it up there and dealing with the border it would have been $900.00 so given the time of year I figured to my door was worth the extra money.
So it showed up yesterday and it's awesome. Now the work begins and being a first time classic car owner I'm feeling overwhelmed. It's a fastback conversion and it needs the rear trim and seats. I knew this when I bought it but now I just have to figure out where to begin. It's bare metal from the front seats back. I'm probably in the wrong spot to ask this but any tips would be great.
