Yeah Quick, I hear you... You're just a few years younger than me, and I still remember the '69 RS-Z that I passed on that was sitting in a guy's driveway in a friend's neighborhood. Must have been 1988 or 89; I can't quite remember. It coulda been mine, hauled away, for $2K w/o engine/transmission, or $4,500 with the #s match rebuilt 302 and M-22 that he was running around in a '67 Corvette at the time.

It was super rare, 10-10 black, houndstooth, wood dash, wood wheel, no spoilers or cowl hood. Rusted very badly, but not by today's standards, and would be a dream come true for someone today to find something like that.

I tried to figure out how to buy it for the entire winter, but couldn't find the money. He eventually did sell it, and I think I actually cried.

Aaah, those were the days....
