Only thing I can think is. You should sign the car some were before you clear it. That way when you become a famous car builder it will be worth more. Keep the cost down I want to buy the Centry when you're done.

Wow!! I'm flabbergasted. I'm sad to see it go, but like you said, the money will help complete your other project(s).
I'll be following your Turbo Buick Century build.

I wasn't expecting to hear that, but I might just have done the same thing (assuming I had the skills you did) in that situation. I was hoping to see pictures of this and the Turbo Century sitting next to each other.

AC Delco missed a huge opportunity limiting this campaign to 15 years old and newer. The Aeroback would have blown away any of the late model 'restorations'. Although, by letting it go now, it will always remain perfect in your mind. By the way, you set the standard the rest of us aspire to match.

I'm glad I got to see it in person. I thought I would see it again. Wish I had had a chance for you to take me for a ride in it that weekend. Congratulations. It is a beautiful car.

Because I absolutely love getting gas in a Grand National and someone walking up and telling me how nice my Monte Carlo is :rofl:
Took me 3 tries to click agree. Damn phone. Lol. I've had my regal called a monte a fair amount of times. First couple get a chuckle. Other times its just "cmon man it says Buick on it in like 8 places!"

Man, I get it the other way. Everybody thinks the Monte is a Grand National.

When I had both a black Turbo Buick and black MCSS I would always get: "nice Buick/nice Monte" when driving the other car. My response was always: "Thanks, but this isn't a Monte/Buick - I left that one at home..." Jaws would drop and I would drive off.

It is a shame that the Salon is gone. But, you seem like a builder not a collector. So congrats on the sale.
