Default I'm back!
Had to sell my 1980 L82 a few years back because of layoff and many other money troubles. Last night I put a deposit and will be picking up my new (to me) 1980 L82!! Even though I put tons of $$ into my other one, this one is in better shape and a much cleaner car..

Thanks!! It's even the same color combo....the only difference is this one has solid tops, not the glass tops I had before. Plus I basically got it for what I sold my old car for!

Glad you are back with us. That is a really nice lookin' car. The wheels work well with it too.
I am glad things turned around for you and am sure this car will be even more special since it represents your "come back".. for lack of better term.
Congrats and welcome back.
