I traded it in for this car plus some cash. He gave me pretty close to what I had wanted for it.

Great looking car. Congratulations!

Getting on 10 years ago I bought my NOM 73 convertible and never looked back. I've been through several motors trying to find the right one. Still not there yet but love experimenting. Even when I blew one up, it was nice knowing that the only money that I lost was the motor, not car value.
