Default My old & new.

I just wanted to share my day. Around six months ago I sold the Camaro & seperatly picked up the TA. I went to the happy new owners house and took a few shots of both. He ended up buying us a nice lunch. I had great memories w/ the Camaro but my tastes changed & I am enjoying the T/A even more.

That's a shame you could not keep both. Nice cars!
If you feel like it, post these photos in the 'convertible' section too. Convertible owners will enjoy seeing the photos. Not everyone will notice them here in this section. Glad you like your T/A. Now to get rid of that front license plate. I am so glad we don't need them here in NC.

The Monte Carlo SS recognition is just starting now that it has hit the magical 25 year mark. A nice spread in the July '12 Hemmings (page 24) featured it. Also a recent BJ auction held in FL this spring had a 13,000 miles Aerocoupe sell for $19,200 (included commission) and another prime example in Largo, FL sold for $17,200 on ebay in March if I remember correctly. People are realizing there was another nice G-body out there besides the Buick's Grand National and T-types. The 305 certainly was no LT1 or LS1 but a V8 typical of the 80's. Thanks for the notice

Good to hear, my closest buddies has a black w/burg stripes & gut non aerocoupe w/ 40k that has not moved in 10 years due to lof (lack of funds). It has a failing factory gm repaint (the black turns white on the roof,hood,trunk & tops of fenders). It is still a great car. I imagine it w/ 383, yahoo.
