Its a common thing with older cars I think. Back when I had my 86 Iroc Z almost every time I drove it if I stopped somewhere someone would ask how much I wanted for it. One day I even found a note under the wiper asking me to text this number night or day and let him know how much i wanted for it. Seemed ridiculous though. When I finally did go to sell it I had it for sale for over a year until someone finally traded me an 2004 Monte Carlo LS with 76k for it. even a couple hours ago a guy asked me how much I'd take for my truck I said not for sale and he kept trying to convince me to sell it. I knew he wasn't too serious since he was driving a 93 cutlass that was falling apart.

The license plate suggestion is good I never even thought of anyone wanting to restore it. d I've had people from all walks of life ask and I doubt they all think of restoring. The guy the other day probably would. Right now I am rather attached to it because it is my only car. I like having 2 cars but last year my other car quit working. So now I have to wait a couple more months to get a second car. You know....I live half hour from St. Louis. When I have to go into the city, it's a bit scary since people are really persistant there and I don't want to get car jacked or anything. Well, I guess I could just drive off and hope not to get shot at.

Disconnect the battery while your down there! I had a friend in Detroit. That when he went downtown. He took his streeting wheel with him. But it was his only Ride also.
