    :laugh: ...its just a lightweight tarp over a regular cover...its cloudy in my area...dont need water on it....as a matter of fact the car has only been hose washed only 2 times in almost 4 years...I dont believe in hose washing a car like this and other classics....unless you realy have too

    yea ...I thougt I would keep her forever also....but as you guys know.... I dont cruise much and also a project in the making....and most important my oldest is college bound soon..

    the new owner is from Canada and seems to be a collector of other cars as well......he roams this forum as well...just cant think of his handle here...well,atleast he says i can visit the car up in Canada when visiting...I have a sister up there....

    btw...hows that mac & cheese kid ? give him a high- five for me

    question

    if u were to put a tarp over a cover wouldnt that block airflow to the paint there fore ruining it...that is what i wanted to do with mine since its stored outside and my bodyman siad it would ruin the paint?

    I know ..I know.... :Dou: I have people pm'ing me the same thing ....why????

    I also ask myself why....but the time has come...(many rea$ons)
    the car turns 30 years old in 2006 ....I bet you he gets it on front page of some magazine in the near future...and he also gives me the privelage of laying eyes on it when visiting Canada...but maybe NOT for a spin around the block with the t-tops off.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ....and it looks its best with the t-tops off....BIG TIME...

    who knows ..after I am done with my gs restoration(couple of years)...maybe I find a project pace car..... :Do No: (most likely down the road)

    no good....I dont see t-tops and more important the console ....its colum shift :Do No: why.......and that red interior ....something just wrong with it.....


    ya cant beat this
    [​IMG]


    go back in time a bit....1976 and your at the dealer putting a down payment on a brand new pace car....and keep in mind that every dealer in the country didnt even get one/see one..very few made.....would you not order the t-tops and center console...??..thats like ordering a camaro/trans am with bench seats..almost :laugh: :laugh:

    even though I am hearing of a few without t-tops....and red interior...

    and besides...I cant get involved in any project or I will lose sight of my gs project...I know myself :Dou:
