patina allows a car to actually be driven as it was intended, without worry and sometimes like a jackass :lol:

I want to find a lettering guy to do a bunch of vintage trans am style lettering/signage on the car eventually to match my beat up paint.

Love this car, is it a fuelie as well?

Maybe we should coin a new term for this phenomenon of cars without $20k in paint. :lol:

Yep -- You can call them F U N! Because they get driven...

CHARLEY... That's a 5 star Bowtie car! Just not sure you want to hang out with that "bunch" to get it judged... :lol:

do you still have that low mileage original 1970 Camaro. Did that go across the auction block at Mecum, I think I saw it on tv this weekend.

I totally agree. There is nothing specific that jumps out at me to make it a cool car. It's just a very cool car overall. Looks like it might be fun to cruise around in. :thumbsup:

Ever thought about buying a bra to protect that patina?

That Galaxie looks really cool like that! Too bad its so heavy or it could be a "dare to be different" track beater.
