&gt;&gt;&gt; Not intentional, but I'll give you that one. Caddy Limo...Lincoln...whatever. Like I said before,the only web page I looked at of yours was the '64. I knew you had a Chevy and something that had an "L" in it.. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

"You know, that might be plausible, except for the fact when you made that post you were quoting one of mine. My signature on every post lists the three cars."

&gt;&gt;&gt; You got me there Champ. Didn't mean bag on your Caddy Limo by calling it a Lincoln. Like I said, it wasn't intentional. Caddys are much cooler.



<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by red70goat: As far as your awards: From what I've seen of your '64 any award recieved was certainly well deserved. That doesn't make you any more of an expert or a "car guy" than the rest of us. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

As already posted, the awards are not important. Driving the car is. My car is nothing more than a very nice driver.

"....by trying to convince us that the "Jury" was a GTO "...

&gt;&gt;&gt; I don't where you got that idea. I said from the beginning that the "Jury" was a LeMans that had been outfitted from a dealer and marketed as a "Poor Mans GTO". Go back and check my original post on the "Jury".

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by red70goat:I know plenty of rich pricks who pay somebody 40-50k to restore a musclecar. Possession doesn't make them experts. I happen to be one of those rich pricks who will be throwing 40k or so at somebody to restore my Goat. When that happens, I will not be heralding myself as any more of a car guy or expert than the guy who takes pride in his clean '71 LeMans or whatever it may be. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

"Well, I'll agree with your being one of those rich pricks..."
&gt;&gt;&gt; Thank you. I've worked hard to attain that lofty status.


<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by red70goat:&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;1) I would never compare a modern day GTO (when Pontiac gets around to making one) to a Mustang as you frequently do. They are not in the same class. A fact you frequently ignore. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

"How many times have you referenced the retro styling of the Mustang?"

&gt;&gt;&gt; Many times, because I don't consider the GM Monaro to be a GTO. Therefor, no comparison.


<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by red70goat:&gt;&gt;&gt; When my 70 is ready to go it will be driven on a nearly daily basis, except in winter. I will not drive it until then. At 278,000 miles I do not want to put any more wear and tear on it until the "restoration" is done. The road salt here chews up older cars like candy. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

"....Summertime cruising isn't going to add any significant wear and tear to the body of your 278,000 mile GTO <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Well, with all the feedback I've had on this subject I'm starting to think maybe I should hit it with a buffer, armourall the vinyl top and do just that.
