Glad to see your having fun, and sound proud to drive it.

Just a little thought here, but how many of you still have your original
bumper jack? Both my '76 and my '73 did not have the jack present when I
bought them. Fortunately I bought one off ebay a few years ago so it is now
stowed in my '76.
Also, I don't remember if I mentioned it, but there was another '76 El
Camino Classic that I test drove before I bought my Sprint. It was almost as
nice, and about the same price. Big points for the fact that the seller
was local and ran a repair shop. And it had a topper, which I consider a
plus. Anyway, I went and talked to the guy again today and he's really nice.
Didn't mind that I passed on his Elky, and would be willing to rebuild
the VIR for the A/C in my Sprint if I decide to do that. I might get that
done here soon. My A/C works, but is not "ice cold" like the seller
mentioned. I test-drove my '76 Sprint on an unseasonably cool 60-degree
overcast
day, and it seemed to work great back then.
That's all I got for now. Oh, and I'm getting lots of compliments on the
'76 Sprint. I think the same amount of comments as if I'd bought a more
collectible car for twice the price :)
