Default Re: 70 Townsman LS-5 Documented

RI has rules as a dealer that you wouldn't believe, that being said. I have no desire to be a dealer as I only sell what I want to in order to aquire another car.
Dealers sell to "make a living" I don't.
I collect cars and trucks. My wife and I take 2 to every show we attend. I enjoy seeing the other cars, meeting and making new friends, and bringing whatever cars I have up to "snuff". I, as anyone else, like to win at shows. You don't win without some serious detailing effort.
And yes, I have a very significant insurance policy with Hagerty Insurance. They are the best. McKeel Hagerty is a very nice person, a serious car collector too. I have met him several times.
I started coming to this site and posting here since on a "Google" search of 70 Townsman wagon turned up info on my car before I owned it. I also noticed that Most of the "for sale" listings were for Muscle Cars and more, not just documented "supercars". I also noticed the majority of listings were the Dealers. They seemed to be looking to buy, ie: recent listing for LS-6 ElCamino, Nickey bought and will take to auction. Seller got I assume his $60,000 to $65,000 he wanted, and Stefano had no problem stating he has a $70,000 reserve set for the auction. I do believe Stefano is a dealer. At least his descriptions seem to fit the cars. The exception, not the rule.
I would have no problem with membership required as I fell this group is one of the best for all info and more. Helpful.
However you would have to open it up to non-supercar owners or it would be a very small membership.
Could I add something in the other areas, maybe. I do have some credentials, as a mechanic, as a judge (as in car show). But I prefer to listen and learn.
and from this site I do learn.
Thanks

P.S. you are only a dealer if your three cars have the exact same license plate...an it says dealer.
BTW, Nice 72 GS, couldn't see. Bumper cutouts for exhaust???
need a better back end shot. Nice.
