Default miata for 79 camaro..DEAL!!

i'm working on my miata.. Just getting used to it and such.. it's been completely stripped and i already got 90% of the subframe and semi-cage welded in.. I had a friend that works at the Rhino lining place do my floors in rhino lining nearly for FREE!!.. but only color he could use for free was red.. and i was getting ready to start motor hunting for this little mountain killer.. so back to the story i'm working on it and a guy up the road comes down in his 79 camaro.. we bullshit a while over a few beers he actually helped me put the new brake kit on from baer sport brake kit.. then gives me an offer.. his 79 camaro.. LT1 swap, lowered, cragar wheels, and he said he would pay me for the brake kit i just put on today.. I grin from ear to ear and point into the corner of my prefab garage, to the LS1 sitting pretty on a used tire.. we talk a little more and come to find out his son is turning 16 in 5 months.. he wants to get him a car that they can work on, a 2 seater so he doesn't have a car full of other kids, and something that won't be too fast.. He has seen me drive up and down the road several times.. The final deal is.. My miata for his 79 camaro along with $1100 for brake kit and to boot all a puppy an Irish Setter.. His 2 dogs just had their 2nd litter of puppies a week ago.. So i have 2nd pick after his daughter who is in college at auburn.. DEAL!!

thats a good deal, I loved my 79, but I sold for a faster car, the stock 305 wasn't cutting it and it was all original so i didn't want to tear it up
