By the looks of the garage and the contents of it money doesn't look like a problem. Life is too short to not leave enough time for yourself and your hobbies.

What's all the way in the back in the picture? Looks like maybe a 60's Impala or Riviera?

huh.. people normally aren't interested in that car... it's been in my family since the day it left the dealer lot.. body is in ok shape (but needs paint pretty bad), but interior is immaculate... still have the original spare, original trunk liner, thing is like a time machine (I've since put dual exhaust on the car, but these pics are otherwise current). The speaker setup in the front is removable, I preferred adding something like that over replacing the stock am/fm radio with a modern unit (and the radio still works, believe it or not):

Yea my old man was a buick/caddy guy. For some reason I often think of the Wildcat. Never really see them in the wild these days.
Thanks so much for sharing the pics. Brings back good memories.

thanks.. just finished a full resto on it, body and mechanicals are about as pristine as possible for a "driver" (I hate going to shows... 'vettes are made to be driven)
