Default sold my 78

i was a little teary eyed last night as this young 20 year old
drove off in my 78 that i have worked on for the last 7 years
bought the car on my 40 b-day sold it just after my 47th b-day
he had a big smile on his face, i guess that makes it a little better.
and it's not like i don,t have a vette it will give me more time and money to finish the 71, I'll need to change my sig. soon and redo my web site
o'well maybe because of me there is a new person with the fever
I'll been in touch with all those 71 questions and also wanted to say
thanks to all the forum members who help with the 78 project

The guys at the Chevy dealership keep wanting to buy my 79, but I just can't sell it. I've put so much effort and pain into it over the years.

Did you get the impression he would appreciate it and treat it accordingly?

I'm buying a '78 SA tomorrow and I'm just curious what you sold this one for. It was $9,900 in the For Sale forum earlier this month.

as a fellow 20 year old (21 now), let me just say that you did indeed spread the fever and we thank you.
