I had a great time with the 87 Monte SS, but I SOooooooo much like having
just one project. Splitting the time and money between 2 of them was just
too much.
You will have lots of memories with this one. My son remembers the 64 Nova
from an early age, and wanted to even buy one at one time. I'm glad he
passed on it.
Congrats on selling it.
