    Nice find. Those are great looking cars. They smell so good inside after setting around
    with a load of tires inside.

    I made the same kind of play on my first car, waited 5 years on a '63 Corvair
    Monza 700. It was a California car with only 42,000 miles on it. In 1983, the lady finally
    offered it to me. $425 bucks later and my dad's blessings and it was mine.

    I didn't crash mine but it was totaled out while setting innocently, at the front curb of my parent's house. It should have been parked in our back yard but I
    didn't want to leak oil on their pad. I was in the process of 'trust' building after a few foolish indiscretions. A woman in a Toyota Tercel wagon took her eye off the road to del with her baby in the back seat and that's all it took. She was so shaken I couldn't get mad, just sick to my stomach. Her car, oddly, barely showed damage but she crushed the whole front clip and pushed door #1 back into door #2. I'd only added about 200 miles to the car in 2 years.. Very sad...

    My next car was the 1966 Impala wagon my brother sold me for about what I'd paid for the Corvair but it had already clocked 118,000 miles to it's 327,... it to met a cruel fate,
    not of my doing...
