Marshall: Great looking 68. I am over here in Tampa, but have a condo on Sand Key, just a few miles north of you on Gulf Blvd. We should get together in the spring. I just rented the condo for the winter. I have had my 68 since 1972. If you are ever in Temple Terrace and need a lift, PM me. Jerry

Hey snow man in NY, I feel your pain. I moved down from Pa two 2 yrs ago. I drive my car as often as I can sans a rain storm.
Jerry, love to get together and see your 68. Are you here full time?

Yes, we moved down to Temple Terrace, which is outside the city of Tampa, in 1987. We bought one of the condos on Sand Key in 1999. It was before the prices went to the moon on the Key. We use it in the summer and rent it out in the winter. It is too cold for us to go to the beach in the winter. We are really spoiled. You can see the car on the first season, episode 11 of What's in the Garage. I think it was sponsored by Auto Geek. Mike Phillips came out with a crew and did a segment on my cars. He is a great guy. I gave the Chevelle to my son and he used it as his get away car when he got married. That is literally my 15 minutes of fame. Jerry
