Responding to the convertible in Hemmings that was cited, not the
ebay car. Hayes did sell a nice silver '67 1600 crossflow, RHD coupe
to someone there in Florida a little over a year ago. Do you know
where that one ended up?

> Dave,
> The convertible Marcos that ended last week WAS NOT the one Hayes
has for sale. This is ANOTHER one! Hayes's is yellow and your
description applies to his and I have personally seen it several
times. The one that recently ended on eBay looks to be dark (BRG)
green with a tan or beige interior. Pull up the item on eBay
(#260363180252) and check out the car before stating that is the one
you were thinking Hayes has. That's why I supplied the item number.
> There are several more Marcos cars hiding in the woodwork of
south/central Florida than meets the eye. I was not that suprised to
hear of ANOTHER convertible down here. I have heard stories of the
green convertible in Miami for the past several years, as well as at
least two more coupes on the gulf coast of Florida, not including
Larry's and Ron's two cars.
