you got a great a price if you were here in the states, but i dont know how expensive it would be to get another car over there , but good price anyway . Your car was mostly stock anyways wasnt it , you had the nice wheels , shaved handles and gas door right and the rest was stock , and if thats your car thats an awesome price.

Sorry to see you go, Graboid, but I think the regulars knew you weren't too thrilled with the car. Maybe we'll see you back someday.

Well obviously you had your reasons. It was a beautiful car so something must have pushed you to sell it. Good luck with the new vehicle; what's the replacement?

Amazingly, im almost at tears at the thought of this TG being lost in the void of anonymity. Your car has always been the showcase of my droptop gallery. Damn that thing is beautiful. Please I ask you, e-mail me all pics you have of your car so they can be preserved on the web.

It was my 13 th car, and it won't be the last. I just got used to it. Not enough passion left. I got annoyed by the problems every thirdgen convertible owner knows about. Believe it or not,but in my eyes, the stance of the car is ok, but not excellent. Not to mention that having a black car is a Love/Hate thing.

wow man...I knew you were talkin about it before..didn't actually think you would go through with it. But like you said, you have very little ways to modify your car because of the laws where you live. Well, I hope the new car is as nice as the vert.
Keep in touch and let us know what going on.
I am almost finished with my 383/T56 build up. Keep checkin back...I should have some pics soon.

That is one of my favorite cars on the boards, and one of my desktop rotation. Sorry you had to let it go, but things change and we develop new priorities. Hope the new owner takes care of it.... at least tell him about thirdgen.org so he can keep posting, and see how many folks like his new car, Lol!

I sure hope you replaced it with a 'vette! That, I could respect...... altho vettes have their own issues. I get as many looks and thumbs ups in my black 'vert as I do in my vette. No matter what kind of rides I get in the future, I don't think I would be happy if I didn't have at least 1 third gen in the stable!

Take care and visit often!
