One of those decisions in life that at the time it was made was a good one but in retrospect was a bad one . . .
I always had a soft spot for the 1966 L79 Nova SS. I was doing a lot of business with a man that lived in Westchester, NY. I used to go to his house to pick up equipment that I bought from him like computer monitors, monitor controllers and such. One time I looked in his garage and saw he had a Red/Red 66 L79 Nova SS. It was covered in dust and two of the four tires were flat. But the interior was in excellent shape as was the engine compartment.
I asked him how long he had owned the car - he said 10 years. "You don't drive it anymore?" He replied "nah - I've lost interest in it. I have other toys that I spend my time with." I asked him if he would consider selling it. He didn't say yes - he didn't say no - he said "I'll think about it."
And I didn't pursue it.
