Went to see, and drive, the car this evening and decided to pass on the car. While it was nice to see it and drive it again the car had changed so much from when I had owned it that my feelings for it had changed.

I took some pictures and made a lame attempt at a video with my camera. I will try to upload them later.

I can speak from recent experience regarding the purchase of my old 69 Z. I had actively tried to buy it back since 1986. I flew down to look at the car and it looked nice from afar. Once I started inspecting it, I kept hearing a little voice saying do you really need another project.
I made an offer, and flew home the next day without a deal. The owner called me a couple of times and made the decision to ultimately to purchase the car because as I reflected back I had pursued the car for 24 years and that was reason enough.

Slowly I am rebuilding different aspects of the car and very much enjoying the journey. Absolutely no regrets and feel very satisfied returning the car back to its former glory.
