I hear you Bob. I bought a 1969 Camaro in 1970 that had a bad ( by which I mean Good) 327 300 HP engine with a 4 speed. Go it for $1800. Try to findd that price now w/o buying something thats falling apart. Just imagine what you could of had for $25.00 and what I could of had if I had the money for $1,000. GEE, I could cry.
