So how do you justify having a "garage queen 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Kare L on  Wed Dec 1 14:14 CST 2010 [RELATED]

Thanks gents for offering your thoughts. The financial aspect is very important - I've had about $7K in medical bills this year so I am trying to reinvent thrifty. Another point is that the car has been stored away for half a year - out of sight, out of mind. It's back in my garage now and I like seeing it every morning on the way out. It certainly has sentimental value, I've had a 71 142 automatic, 75 242 stick, my dad had two 244's and my brother an Amazon and a 245. I like the advice of trying to use it once a week or so, not necessarily for a special occasion.
I had plans to put some extra $$ into my engine rebuild, but I have decided to simply rebuild to original specs. Maybe a hotter cam, but that's all.
Thanks.
