New member from Minneapolis

[69hugger]

Hello all,
I am a new member, but a many year muscle car junkie. Past rides include a '69 Road Runner 440-6 Pack, '70 Cuda 440 Vert, 4 0r 5 'Vettes (last one a '08 Z06), and a '69 Camaro SS 427 I had for 17 years.
After selling the Z-06 last year (it just wasn't "all that"), my wife made the mistake of telling me I needed a new toy to go along with my retirement in January. So we headed to Barrett-Jackson & I am now the proud new owner of a black '69 Camaro built several years ago by a very prolific member of this site.
The car has much of the DSE catalog installed (from 2 visits to DSE) and a 534 BBC & T-56 6-speed.
The car needs a little TLC to bring it back to perfection (at least in my eyes), and a few minor changes for my tastes.
It was delivered in January, and since then I have been ordering new stuff, and painting & polishing some "experienced" pieces. It has been 2-1/2 months, and because of the winter-that-never-ends, I have yet to drive it. I am hoping for no major "surprises" when I do.
Overall, I think it's a kick-ass car, and am looking forward to having a bunch of fun with it. Although I am still wondering what possessed me to buy a black car (my 1st ever).
Thanks for a great place to hang out!
