Welcome to the list Pete. I too waited a long time to get what I wanted, but unfortunately my other half does not share the same passion for the car as I. You got keepers, both the car and the wife.

Would like to find out what would be involved to locate the correct date code 396 engine . I plan on keeping the car for a very long time due to waiting 36 years to get one .My neighbor / "big brother " bought one back in May of ' 69 and I fell in love with it then . I would say it was worth the wait to finally get my own . I'm also a lucky guy because my wife also shares the same passion for that car. Pete Hnat
