Yes. I read somewhere that they were named after James Garner.

Re: Gentleman Jim on Craigslist

looks pretty good if the rad support is sound, and floors are good if you can get 1000. or under the good deal.

Re: Gentleman Jim on Craigslist

I'm always suspicious of ads with no interior pics. It looks like a partially stripped shell and the guy thinks he can get top dollar.

Kinda like the 68 & 69 Chargers with no floors, no rear 1/4 panels, no interior, and no exterior lights or trim or wheels that are listed for years at a $30,000 asking price.
All you can do is shake your head and move on.

If
The rockers look as good as I can see, I'd gladly pay 1000 for that!

Re: Gentleman Jim on Craigslist

I'm looking for a GJ VIN ending in 6183........It was my gpas and long story short, was stolen years ago and I've been trying to track down what happened to it. If anyone has any info or leads on the whereabouts of one, I'd greatly appreciate it.
