TheBMan Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Well boys, I bought the car. With any luck, it will be here next week. I can't tell you how much I appreciate each of you and your knowledge, comments, and feedback. I'm super happy to continue to be a part of this family. 🙌 I have learned sooooo much about these cars from this group and all of the work I did on my 72, but this is my first SS and I'll probably have lots of questions. I hope you don't get sick of me. 😉🙃 Thanks guys! Merry Christmas! @Dtret @DragCat @MCfan @714024SPEED @Glen @1970mcss @MC-71 @Rob Peters @jft69z 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Congrats. We love the questions. It sometimes makes us ( at least me) seem smart. I hope you got the happy price. I look forward to seeing it in person. By the way if you overpaid that’s great news for me when I sell mine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1970mcss Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 That's great news, an early Xmas present. I bought mine sight unseen and over time have it back to stock and the way I want it. These cars are only go up in value so what ever you pay for them in my opinion is worth it. Keep us posted on your progress, happy new year with the new SS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I overpaid. The market is kind of weird right now and as you know, there aren't a ton of these out there to go by. I like you and all, but I don't want to be the reason the value of your car increases. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Congrats Bryan!!!! If you are happy with the price, you paid and the seller sold you the car, everyone is happy. It's a great deal!!! Enjoy it the way you want!! I have been told many times the stuff i buy is junk. I don't care i buy what i want. And believe me sometimes it is, but i am happy with it and no one can take that away from me. When i get to them, i get to them. Remember Dennis was hit in the head with a 2x4 once that we know of (my bet more than once)! He is also full of bologna he is not selling anything. Like me it all goes to the wife and let her worry about it. What she gets, she gets!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear you dropped the hammer and got the deal done. I’m far from the most knowledgeable on these boards, but what I lack in technical and mechanical contributions I make up for in quick wit, unparalleled charm and rugged good looks (Dennis and Joe will co-sign on this statement). Oh, hey… did I mention that I also own a ‘70 SS? All effin’ around aside, it certainly appears you did well and picked up a very nice, clean, solid and pretty complete car. We look forward to hearing and seeing more of it after you get her settled in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
