Hey Saul,
Sad that it is sold, but glad that is over for you now ... especially so you
can focus on your "newer" '76! Hey ... I can see I have seen both of yours IN
PERSON! :)

Subject: [elky] Clustertruck is sold
I sold Clustertruck today, to the owner of a local auto shop. Didn't get much
for it...only $300. But the longer this dragged on, the more I thought about
just donating it rather than dealing with the hassles of selling it. So now I
have extra cash for getting the A/C rebuilt on my '76.
New owner will use the engine in his '72 El Camino. He had a young nephew, who
was the one that actually contacted me and seemed interested in my Sprint. On
Monday I had a bunch of texts with someone else who was interested (I suspect
it may have been the same kid). I can understand the use of "No texts" in a
craigslist ad...I much prefer e-mail.
Alot of lessons learned with the six years I have owned Clustertruck. I bought
it from a co-worker the same week I sold my '72 Nova to a different co-worker.
I had owned the Nova for 17 years and drove that old 4-door beater over 140,000
miles (on top of the 190k it already had on it). I had just bought a house at
the time and wanted a truck, but one that would remind me of my old Nova...and
chose a '73 Sprint. Looking back, Clustertruck didn't quite fit the bill,
since my son was born shortly after I bought it, and I never drove it enough to
have any stories to tell with it. I feel like I already have more stories to
tell from my '76, which I just bought this summer.
But it was fun the few times I used it, and I like being one of the rare fans
of the '73-'77 models! And joining the El Camino list. Thanks everyone!
