Guys,

Just so you know, I had the car inspected by a VERY reputable person prior to purchase who shall remain nameless, unless they wish to chime in. They did not think this car was a true survivor, and that is why I bought it and am having it restored. If it was a true survivor, I would have either passed or just freshened it up. I'm not crazy, stupid or off my rocker. I passed on a survivor BM '70 Chevelle and '70 Olds 442- W30 4 speed rag top just for that reason.

The car is being properly restored using the few NOS parts needed since almost all of the car was original, less hoses belts and such. A/C is NOT being added to this car as unfortunately it may become my one trailer queen. In case I do decide to drive it, I have had a period correct 427/M21 built to drop into the car to make sure the original drive train is preserved.

Yes, I have installed Vintage air on some of my cars so they can be driven and used down here in So. Florida vs. just sit in a garage and gather dust so to speak. All the A/C installs are non damaging and completely removable to return the car undamaged back to factory specs.

Tell me, which is worse; buying a car like this and locking it away from the car lover world in my garage so only I can view it because it's to rare to take out or restoring, driving and showing them at local shows. Which do you think is a bigger crime? My kids have to get to school some how..................

Just because I have the ability to buy a car like this does NOT equate to me having the mind set that I don't appreciate or respect these cars because I have "money to burn" as some have indicated, on the contrary, I have immense respect and love for these vehicles.

As a kid my back yard abutted Steven Siegel's backyard and I've seen his '71 Hemi Cuda convertible in my driveway. I assure you all, I appreciate these cars and have since a young age.
