I don't think any of us here are independently wealthy... It's always a balance between paying the mortgage and spending money on an old car. On the other hand, you're out there in the land of rustfree cars, and guys like Pittsburgh 64 and me are up here in the snow belt.
I noticed in your profile you're an electrician; so is Pitts, I'm an electricial engineer, and I believe there are a few other people here of the sparky persuasion. There must be something about electrical people and old Pontiacs.
