Most cool but way the hell to much for that piece.

Nowadays you pay more for the 'Tina..... All about the look. Car needs a chassis swap and modern drivetrain. Restore the interior and add some AC. Done. Wouldn't touch the outside.
Yeah I know.

So as one of the elders, from a time when everyone tried to make their car as nice as possible... What do you think about this patina craze?

Fair enough. I'm trying my best to convince as many people as I can that these cars are meant to drive. No matter what it looks like. If you see mine on a trailer, something is broke..
I am looking for a 73-91 crew cab Chevy/GMC ramp truck.
To me if it is your car and you put the effort/money into it then I am all in for you.
I may not really like it but I will appreciate what you have done.

I try to express myself tastefully. Little things here and there, you know like a giant number on the door....

Exhaust manifold replacement could easily require pulling the head when the leak ate away at the bolts. They would snap like a twig when trying to remove them. A left hand drill bit is your friend when it comes to removing broken bolts or studs. While drilling it heats up the bolt or stud and will cause the fastener to back out if the bit catches while drilling or as it almost goes through.
Don't even get me started on donut gaskets

Someone mention donuts? 
Car makes me what to get
I had a grade school teacher who drove a 65 Bonneville convertible and it was all original. It was not a show car but was still in damn good shape and I loved that car. It came up for sale after I got my license and I tried hard to talk my dad into buying it. No dice.
That era of full size Poncho's were just super handsome cars.
The interiors were blinged out to the Max.

I go back and forth on which one I like the best. Those '61 Bonnys are so cool, I also have a big love for the '65 fullsize... The '62 Grand Prix is also sexy....
Not to put down any of the 1960's Bonneville/ Grand Prix offerings, I always kind of like the '63 Rivera. I didn't yet have a drivers license in the 1960's, but in the early 70's, my generation ran the last miles off (and crashed) many of the great cars of that era.
We really did not appreciate what we had then, we just figured that Detroit would just keep turning out bigger, more powerful, better, and more stylish cars for ever. We did not foresee the 1973 crappy running smog motors or the 1975 oil embargo.

I like the early Rivieras. Pretty cars. If you ordered one new, you got your name on a plaque on the console...
