 Good for you Larry!  Let me know if you need my help on anything, I have travelled the country for the last 5 years and hung around alot of shops and high-dollar investors getting cars done, so I have pretty much figured out who to talk to and who to stay away from. 
Jim I will take any considerations on shops especially from people I have known for years.
Thanks Larry

Well I am probably going to disapoint some people but I think I have decided to go through all my parts this next week while I am off work and see exactly what I have. Part of the problem is I have been buying parts for years and I have boxes that I have not even opened yet. I am going to try and get some rough quotes on paint and body work. So I want to thank all of you for the replies but after thinking about this for a week I think if anything was going to happen I will sell the Bird and do the 72. How can I let go a 1 of 1 car when I can always buy another Bird. Of course now I have to try and find someone that I can work with and trust for the body work.

Awesome Larry! Let me know if you need any input about the resto. I went through the whole gamut with my car and am lucky to have found someone reasonable, knowledgeable & trustworthy to finish my car after we were initially fleeced by a well known resto shop. I can't wait to see the car in it's glory.

I plan on doing disassembly myself no problem there, including most of the mechanical. Will just need a great body man for repair and paint.

Or maybe that big 45-50k offer didnt come through  might have something to do with keeping it, cant see passing up 45k on the car as is if it were offered.
Really had nothing to do with the money. If I were to sell45 would have been plenty. Talked to my kids and decided to keep the car

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. 1 of 1 no brainer to keep the 72 V-Code like I said before and you can check it out. Sell the Superbird that they made a bunch of.
I second that,money is just a pile of paper,I'd rather have the car.Not because its a one of one,but any car that I so desired or always wanted,the money is irrelevant after that.
I had a standing huge offer for my AAR project,that some of you would have jumped on if you owned it,but I did'nt and don't ever look back with regret either!
Money.......to many people in the hobby,not just the Mopar crowd, are to worried about what their car is worth,like they have something they have to prove or someone to impress.

As for the "big deals take time bs" thats exactly what it is BS, This is far from a big money trans. I paid 35k for my charger 500 and just as the 4-5 cars prior to that its a simple call to the bank or a drive and 30 minutes to wire the funds.
An hour on the phone with the seller, 1/2 hour at the bank, call the transport guy....done end of deal.
Not quite what I was getting at, but OK...
