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



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.

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...

Clill
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.
