I always bought and sold old cars, but I wasn't really in the hobby until I bought a 1987 Pontiac GTA in about 2000. Next, I bought a 71 GS 350 Convertible and installed a 455 from a 70 Lesabre in it. That's when I found this forum.
Mine was my first car. A 1972 Buick Skylark 2 door post with a 350-2 under the hood! Wish I still had it. Wrecked it being stupid back in 95. Still have parts from it though.
