Ben, welcome to the site and congrats on retiring (6 more years for me !)
Ryan did a great job on that car and he hated to see it go. It is great that you ended up with it and will give it a good home. (giving credit where credit is due I hope it's ok to refer to it as "Ryans old car" when I see it )
What are your plans for it and what color interior does it have ? I may have some NOS seat material for you if you need it.
I had a 70 1/2 LT1 Z-28 myself in 1986. It was silver with black stripes and bright blue interior. I reaaaalllllyyyyy wish I had kept that car. It was bone stock with 50k miles when I bought it for 3k. lol
those days are over huh?
