35 years is a long time - so it begs to ask, why sell now?

Although it's not "correct", I could never find fault with anyone that used a '67 Big Block hood on a C2. That looks like a nice car; I hope you have a couple more stashed away somewhere.

yes, 35 years is a long time. I sold mine last year that I'd had for 27 years, and I still miss it. It'll likely take you a long time to accept that its gone.

Must be like a death in the family... that's how I would feel. Maybe more like assisted suicide.

Maybe you'll be back someday. Maybe you didn't post much because of things like the "parting shot" at your hood not being correct? Beautiful car, come back to see us.
