Ever since my buddy Jorge turned me onto the GTM I cannot stop thinking about this car! It has been a goal/dream of mine to restore
a classic car, or rebuild a vehicle from the frame up. When I found out the price of GTM kit, and that it was LS engine based with a
complete assembly required, my jaw hit the floor and I instantly wanted to sell my Camaro.
Nobody here knows me from Jack, and might not understand the attachment I have with the Camaro because of all the history and personal
touch that has been massaged into the car over the last few years. I swore I would never sell this car, and look what is tempting me!
Right now, I've had no prospective buyers. I'm not too surprised because it's listed on the high side to recover the thousands
that were just dumped into the car over the past six months. Without selling this car, the ability to buy the GTM kit becomes a stretch.
At this rate, I may be able to save enough by next Fall as opposed to this September. To date I've saved one third of the kit price over
three months. That's fairly incredible when I realize the funds must come from an alternate source and NOT from the house/baby fund. My
wife would literally kill me. :(
So with this post I must accept the reality that I'm not going to make my deadline of September to own this dream machine. I'll have to
keep saving my pennies and working extra hard. Perhaps I'll loosen my belt and drop the price of the Camaro a tad, or maybe it's better
to get some use out of the parts and then sell it for market value at a later time. We'll see how long I can resist my temptation.
Until then, I hope that you don't mind me hanging around pretending to be part of the gang.
Yours truly...
