Very interesting. Gas receipt of $5.00 for 7 gallons of gas when the car was purchased new. Thanks for posting!

That's cool, but I don't think I'd want to drive a car that sat that long. There would be a lot of repairs and rotted parts.

I think I would be willing to sell my '78, and maybe even the wife's if I could get that price for them Big smile.

I guess I pretty much agree with Joel but I'm not sure I'd sell mine for that amount or more to a person with the supposed title of sheik.  It is an American car and does not deserve to be sold to yet another rich sand bugger.

Ebo woman said the same thing, it's an American classic and should have stayed in America!
