I was tempted to tell him to bid up to X dollars and I'd make it worth the while... I've got a power window setup and rally gauge setup for the car in addition to a spare glove box lid and dash\radio setup (not to mention several 455s and a brand new TH400) not to mention all of the same black interior parts in my stash. Being from Ohio though it's hard to justify and the wife would kill me... ;-)

People my age and older all want to see the hobby continue, right?

While this car has a new owner, for those of you with new drivers in the family, why not consider picking something like this up as their first set of wheels?

The thing is pre-emissions, easy to work on, GREAT to teach on, safe as a Brinks truck and nobody's gonna lose a lot of sleep if s/he crashes it.

Just sayin'...

I've got a new driver coming in to the fold in less than 3 years and she's already told me she's just going to drive the wagon if her mom won't let her drive her car... ;-) These cars are perfect for kids starting out and seeing if they can be taught a little respect and pride of ownership.

No airbag.

I get what you are saying and think it would be cool - in fact both of my kids would have loved to have had my Mom's 93 Grand Prix as their first car, but the car has no air bags. I realize it's a different car & not as tank like, but the steering wheel & windshield are still there.

...true, and so are lap and shoulder restraint safety belts.

But to each, his own.

We all survived without airbags...

Those of us who are here NOW did, anyway.

BTW, I hope I didn't come off as d!ck about the airbag retort, Boss. (Partly because I am not a parent (I AM a step-parent), my risk-tolerance is obviously much different.)
