I know what you mean. Ten years ago, I drove 75 miles to see an early 80s El Camino for one of our kiddos. I specifically asked if the CCC was still on it, and also asked that if it had been updated, did they do away with all the computer controls. I was assured it was all still factory. Also asked about rust. Again, assured it was "rust free". I guess he meant "free rust".
Looked under the hood and it had an Edelbrock carb. Obviously not computer controlled. Still had the original distributor in it. That won't work.
Opened the driver's door, and could see through a part of the floor to the pavement below. What a waste.
If it were in OKC, I would offer to go look at it for you.
I have had a couple guys on this site lays eyes on cars that weren't high end enough to merit a plane trip, but still expensive enough I didn't want to buy site unseen with no one looking.
You never know, might be someone close. I just thought that one might merit a second look, as it seems like the guy has had it for a while, and obviously cares for it.
