My ‘67 Dart GT convertible project

I like 67 Darts. I had a friend who bought a rather rough one about 15 years ago. I spent a whole year helping him with it. After helping with quarter panels, floors, painting the engine bay, installing suspension, etc. He changes his mind, and sells it for pennies on the dollar. Without asking me if I would have any interest in buying it. I probably had 200 hours in it helping him. It would have been nice to have been offered a chance to buy it.
