One of the PRIMARY objectives for me in my search, was to find a car that was stock. Hardtop was the only other dead set requirement as I don't care for the T-Top look or associated problems that seem to come with them. Everything else, miles, cost etc was a balance.
Back in 87, the man I worked for and someone who was a real mentor to me bought a Grand National. I knew right away that some day I would have to own one of these cars. Fast forward to today, and kids are older, college expenses handled, etc etc, so now is my turn = P . My wife doesn't understand my passion for the car, but luckily, she doesn't need to understand it, to support it so Im quite lucky in that regard.
I do plan to keep it mostly stock, and if anything, will be very subtle upgrades.
Thanks again for the positive feedback and list of your guys' favorites sites, tech help etc.
Make it a great day,
J.R.
