Muscle car nationals

It is truly amazing the details that are paid attention to. Drips left by when the car was dipped in rustproofing for instance. How high up on the car and how long it sat at that level that leaves a mark. Overspray.......bolts that should not have paint chip because those were painted after the car was assembled. Knowing these things and building to that level. Then the judge who should know to look for these details.

The nerd really has to know his/her stuff if you want to play in that sandbox. I really can't fault a guy for not driving a work of art. I respect the commitment to keeping it. Even if you buy it to make a few dollars later you still have to store and preserve it to protect your investment. Hats off to them for going through the pain in that.

The best case is having one like @71GSSDemon. Have it, drive it, and add to its story of being a runner. The risk of wrecking it would be worth more than the risk of your shop burning. My opinion only of course, I respect not driving a rare car like I said. Its just a different world. All the guys I met were super down to earth.
