1970 - 26 years
I was 19 and saw it parked behind a Nissan dealership. I wasn’t looking for a car but it caught my eye. It turned out it was owned by one of the salesman and it was for sale.

Copper 1971 SS - 6 years
I first saw it at the 2006 Western Meet and loved the colour. 10 years later I purchased it from the club member. It was never advertised for sale.

1972 - 5 years (2008-2013)
Purchased on ebay with 55,000 miles. I flew down to Reno, NV and drove it 1,000 miles home.

Red 1971 SS - 3 years (2013-2016)
A fellow locally had passed away in 2012. I could not afford it but helped the widow with a realistic value she could sell it for so she doesn’t get lowballed. I kept in contact with her and she sold it to me a year later. I sold it to a club member to buy the copper SS. It was not advertised for either the purchase or sale.

15 years

Was actually 15 years last week,  I never even drove the car I saw it at a cruise in and bought it that evening the guy delivered it to my house on June 30th was having a party at my house that day and invited the guy to stay for a while but he didn't.  Plated it as soon as I could and never looked back. I did have to fix a bunch of minor things but that's normal. Been working on it ever since but haven't missed a summer of driving it.
