Last I heard, he was selling his car.

Unique has been posting it for sale for a few weeks now. Not sure if he owns it and they are selling it on consignment or if they own it now.

I think it is on consignment. He has it all dialed in now and it runs like a Bat Out Of Hades

Tom has been spending lots of time out of the country. He's been very busy at work.

I'm the LAST guy to tell him not to sell it! biggrin

I've bought/sold 4 Chevelles in 8 years (plus throw in 1 Corvette and 1 Z28)....

Sometimes a guy just gets to the point with a project that he's done and it's time to move on.

I think a lot of us have been there. The excitement is getting it to that point. Once it's done, you get bored and start thinking about other things. It's a little like hunting. You spend all that time getting ready, dreaming about how it will happen. Once everything is done and you get out there, you realize that it's the preparation that you like. Myself, I'm like that with vacations. I love to plan and semi-obsess, but once we go, then it's blah and I'm ready for another one.

Who knows? He might have another reason too, but I know several owners who are done and don't drive thier cars because the thrill isn't there anymore.

I've never gotten a "project" to a "done" status, so I guess I don't understand the reasoning. I'd LOVE to have just 1 of my cars at a point of not needing work to enjoy driving it. My Camaro is a barn find driver and I like having it to enjoy but I took it to No. St. Paul on Friday and on the way home, the heater core started leaking......aaaaauuuuggg.
