Dang Tux-man, I'm with Mic.... I'd be on that like stink on sh#% !!! 

My list is pretty boring. Past Cars:
74 Oldsmobile Omega. My first car and Dad and I did a lot of work on it. Rebuilt the straight 6, interior, body work and paint ourselves (I did a lot of sanding, he sprayed and did the body work). Later got a 350 from the junk yard, rebuilt it and dropped it in. Proceeded to total it (not my fault).
Other past cars - 86 Honda Civic Si Hatchback and 95 Civic Coupe.
Current cars - 71 vette, 99 Honda Accord, and 02 Honda CRV.
OK, my turn.
1974 Kawasaki 100
1968 Chevy Impala 300hp 350
1970 chevy P/U
1973 Pinto (Fat 50's in back, 78's in front, air shocks and an 8ft CB antenna, looked like a remote control car)
1974 Chevy P/U 454BB
1979 Pontiac Le Mans
1980 Chevy P/U 350

Here is the history of the car... if it were me I wouldn't even consider it up for sale again...
I haven't decided yet. He just asked me about it over the weekend. It is a 69 with a blown 454 pullin around 600hp. It has been tubbed and carries a 9" narrowed ford rearend in it. The suspension has be professionally tuned. Tranny is the weak spot with a 350 turbo that has been gutted and gone through by Zimmerman Bros. Racing. Inside is original up front with the exception of autometer gauges, Simpson Racing Seats and belts with a full cage roll bar inside. It is strip worthy any day of the week. (It will yank the wheels up with little effort.)
I am really tryin to persuade him to keep it for the 2nd time. He bought this monster 30 years ago from the junkyard. At that time it had a 427 4sp in it. He redid it himself and it was his 1st car. He sold it 5 years later when he got married. 29 years later he and I spotted it sitting in a field. Our eyes caught a glimpse of the car, It still had the two front chrome and gold Crager 5" trick wheels on the front of it. (They now hang from the ceiling in his garage.) I think he will be sorry if he sells it. That is one of the reasons I am considering buying it. So that when he is over not having it I would sell it back to him. And beside its is just fun as hell to drive. But it is a little hard on gas.....
