I kick myself everyday because I didn't wait and find a better condition car. Granted, I got my 83 CL from my dad who bought it back in 83, but I still wish it was an SS somedays. One of these days I'll get around to posting pics on here so you guys can decide which ones better looking.

to begin with the SS only had better heads and in some cases a stronger rear end and the rest was just cosmetic....looking at what you done with your car it's far superior to any stock SS you can buy so your only one nose away from having a kick *ss Monte with the SS look.....

I suppose I should mention that I've put somewhere around probably....$12,000 into the car AT LEAST. And it probably needs at least another couple thousand if not more to get the interior and body in presentable shape. I don't know...maybe I'm just feeling a bit of regret. My wallet sure is.

I don't look at the $$ or the hours I put into my car. It's a hobby I enjoy and it satisfies me that no one can go out and buy another GP like mine and you may look at it the same way. It's not an investment since I'll never get the money I put into my car by selling it...it's something money can't buy...pride

I appreciate the last 2 posts and I think I'm only saying what most of us feel....it's a labor of love...

I think we need some pics of your car before we judge! I searched through all 11 pages of your posts and not one pic :(

I happen to be at school two hours away from it and it happens to be covered in about 2 feet of snow. I plan on clearing it off this weekend and moving it. Maybe I'll take pictures then.
