The guy is trying to feed off your emotions and your ties to that car. 35K for a bird? Good luck.

Neat story that you were able to find your pop's old car. I must admit, I find your writing style pretty difficult to read/ follow. Are your txting from a phone?

Got any more pics of your Nova?

Interior of '69 Nova>in "as in" condition-its been like this since the '70s&It just fit's the car>Shag&Fur>Groovy?

Nice rides, really dig the Keystones on the Nova and the paint on the FBird!
Good Luck!

wow, I had such a hard time reading it I gave up

it looks like a great story but it was too painful to try to read ... comforting to see someone else had the same problem I did

I'm surprised Chet had the paint changed on the bird. I seem to notice an odd odor every time he stops by my shop!

Yeah-Chet told me that he didnt want to get harrased by the police, So he had the Mj leaf's removed. My Dad used to get pulled over ALL the time when he had the car. It got to the point where he sold it.
