Wow, that Camaro is beautiful. I'm not so sure I could have parted with that.

My father purchased one new in 1974 V12 roadster white on black, was $9800 new, sold it in the early 90's for $60,000 dealer sold it for $70,000 the same week he bought it. Car had 7,000 miles, I can still hear that V12, was only able to drive it twice, wish I knew where it was now.

Beautiful Jag. Love the green on that with the peanut butter interior. Instant WOW for me. I would have never parted ways with it.

I got rid of the Z71 Tahoe 6" lift 35*12.50 and BMF Novicane's. No way I could part with my boat (23 1/2' Sea Pro). Fishing > any other hobby.

Understood.....I should have added that....

Concours Camaro SS = Z51 plus cash in the pocket for another project.

I owned the big block for 25 years, it went to a good caretaker in the midwest....I have another.

I traded my '10 GS 4LT/Heritage vert in order to get my '14 vert, it was my first vert and was wonderful the four years I owned it, but no regrets after I got my C7.
Plus, someone else has it now and I am sure is enjoying it!

Wow, nice 69 Camaro SS! Love the poverty caps and color matched wheel look! Did the same thing to my 396 69 Nova. Loved that sleeper look back in the day and have never lost it, even after all these years!

Can't miss that Bud's showroom in your avatar. I've got a few of those shots myself from there.

My C5 originally came from Barry Bunker Chev which I believe is near you - don't know if they are still there or not.
