About two weeks after my last post I changed my mind and threw the dealer an offer. It was rejected but they admitted it was the ONLY offer and the car wasn't garnering much attention on Hemmings (few watchers).
Late last month they contacted me about my offer and we made a deal. I hired a local classic car appraiser to eyeball the car and drive it and he provided a very positive report. It is now in my garage, delivered in a very timely manner.
This car is spectacular. The body, paint, chrome, trim, and glass are flawless. And I mean flawless. There are a few minor kinks in the interior, all things I can handle. Mechanically it runs good but not great which I expect a complete tune-up and Weber tuning will remedy. The suspension mods are evident while driving as it handles great.
My wife has always wanted a vintage Camaro or Firebird with this color combo, and I have always been intrigued by the OHC6. This car is going to be thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. It makes a nice stable mate to our 1991 Firebird Formula with an LS2 and 6-speed.
There will be numerous questions to this forum and I appreciate the help in advance.
