I restore instrument clusters and refinish wood for old Mercedes, I do a bunch of stuff but some things you cannot restore. Once those knobs for the headlights, etc., are pickles, they will never be cucumbers again. This car is all cucumber.

Needs a PPI still.... Pre-Pickle Inspection!

I usually buy dills :)

bread and butters are great on sandwiches

I like the roofline.

My dad had a GMC Sprint in the 80s. Ugly as sin, classic GM junk.

Believe it or not, I looked at all of them.

Initially I didn't click on the auction when it first appeared since I thought it was just a stock car that some old man had kept for a long time. I can't believe someone would put that kind of money into a car like that.
Even in the restored but not over restored condition this one is in, in the end, it still is going to drive like a mid-60's car. If that's your cup of tea, go for it.

I could see buying this. It's not nearly as nice, but then it would be easier to drive without worry.

^^^ With exception of the 67-69 Camaro and 68-73 Corvette, I am definitely a 64 and below GM guy.

It's absolutely my cup of tea. I learned to drive in a '66 Chevelle in the same color, (stepdad's car), it drove really well. In fact, I'd like to have a mint 1935 Ford V-8 to drive and a '50s Cadillac. If they were "modernized", they would be ruined in my book. I have modern cars to drive everyday with Apple CarPlay, adaptive cruise, etc.

I hate new cars, with a few exceptions. :cool:
