The one that got away....

[Legend]

I bought a 70 Chevelle SS, with the LS6 in 1983. Drove it for 2 years, blew it up and sold her off...

...kick myself in the ass daily for that one! But who knew then what we know now?

I ask "whats a grand national, or GNX", he replys "a car I told you to buy if given the chance" he go's on to explain why...then I tell him what happened at the dealership. He calls me a dumb@$$. The next day Im there at the dealership first thing in the morning...car's sold

Okay but was it a Grand National or a GNX (fender vents)?
