Because I was looking for a car that I could drive and not take up the next several years to restore it. I wanted to leave it as a survivor. Believe me, this car would make a very nice driver to enjoy for sure. Ever since restoring the Classic Copper Z28 for Mark Mitchell, I fell in love with the second Gen Camaros especially in this color. Those who know me know how anal I am and was hoping for the car to be closer to original than it was. Don't get me wrong, its a beautiful car and the owner was very honest with me but there were just too many small items missing or incorrect that it would bring the total cost up higher than I wanted it to be. If someone was looking for a very nice car the way it sits, this is absolutely it. I just wanted it to be a little better. Napa68 pretty much hit the head of the nail. I did not even ask if he would negotiate the price as it was the first day on Craigs list so only a fool would lower his price on the first day. Time will tell. Love the car however. I think the bottom line for me was that right now my (1 of 2) dogs needs my attention and money more than me getting another car and that is likely what really talked me out of it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
