Observations
Just the other night I went searching for cheap gas, as it turns out, my final stop was higher then just about all the others near $2.20! I know that's cheaper then West Coast gas, but consider just North of me, gas was down to $1.92!
The lowest mentioned on radio was $1.89 somewhere in the Twin Cities.... Wasn't near me.
I tried to do some scouting before hand, but it didn't pay off. I ran into low batt problems, due to my Delco radio testing in car, I imagine
The other aside was at the same 'last gas' stop I made, a middle aged man was looking at my car as I shopped inside upon filling up, I was mildly concerned as it was top down, but when I went out to leave, he asked me about the engine, the year, a bit of history. Even saying it was in 'good shape', I had to correct him there, but I wonder, what kind of car comments people have paid you vert owners?
As an Biarritz Eldo owner past, I know that car got weekly comments, people seem to really love Cadillacs here, at least those vocal about it. I imagine too, in prestine shape, people would no doubt notice, but if you live here, you know the weather!

Most people that say anything to me start by asking how much I want for it. After that they comment about how they never see any other convertibles of our era.

For me, the fact it was a 350 came up, thanks in no small part to the missing fact decals I added
I took some shots of the top down, as it stands now.... more rain in the forecast so my testing of two-ply covers is upcoming
There are certainly a percentage of Camaro rag tops around here, even one early example that looks self-done!
In the local car listing a Camaro RS, 92 model with 305V8 for $8,000
You don't see too many like that, but it does have 90K.
[Notice the pic shows no electric release wires or buttons]
