I'd like to thank you for your offer to made a donation to a charity that would be a great thing to do. I am sorry if I came off wrong as that was not my intention. Internet forums can be amazing sources of information but they do attract trolls and people who try to pass themselves off as something their not. That was never my intention here. I can understand how it may look to someone who doesn't know me or my background after reading a few of my posts. The nature of my job requires me to move around a lot and while I am currently living in Albuquerque NM I still own a nice home in FL and hope to make it back there in 17 or 18... realistically its looking like after Feb of 18. Your time frame is about right for me purchasing a C63 I will receive my next promotion in Feb of 17 and plan to save as much as I can for a down payment between now and then.
I have owned several first generation camaros over the years with my most favorite being a 69 RS with a 383 ci stroker, full roller motor, AFR heads, big cam, 3500 stall, and 12 bolt posi with 3.55 gears. It was a street strip car that I used to drag race on weekends and cruise daily. I am pretty knowledgeable about first gen camaros and while it has been a while I could tell you most anything you wanted to know by decoding the VIN number and trim tag. I still still know the VIN number of mine by heart. I say this to because if someone came to Pro-touring.com or camaros.net and tried to tell me about first gen Camaros I might be like who is this guy... so I understand.
So I hope that I can purchase a C63 by April and I hope that we can make a worthy charity happy in the process. Until then I wish you the best.

As I have alluded (sp?) to in other posts, I have had a couple obsessive guys work me to the point of frustration in recent months, but that should be my problem, not yours. These cars are great fun and this forum should be too. So Ima go take a chill pill and put on some big pants myself. Hang around, buy a car, and if I can help I will. Lets see if we can't give some money to a worthy cause.

Outstanding. In all sincerity, that is just an exemplary display of "putting on the big boy pants" as my dad would say, and NOW you sound like a guy I want to help. If he needs it. I totally get how a first gen Camaro guy gets to here, cos I have long described our cars to the general public as "german muscle cars". Thank you for the background, cos I have a totally different picture now.

2w1 the the Air Force job code for a Aircraft Armament systems specialist.. aka Aircraft weapons.. I am a US Air Force vet with 10 years I worked F-15's and A-10s.
C63's are not that common around me. I missed a chance to check out a used one at the Mercedes dealer in Albuquerque but they sold it before I could go see it. I happen to be in IL for a class and there was one here that I went and checked out. I am the type of person who likes to do alot of research before I set my mind on something. Hence why you might see me asking a lot of questions and why I test drove a ton of different cars before I decided which one I liked the most. The 507 that I drove here was a rocket ship !! It was amazing.

Damn, you're a veteran? Gotta say.....
If you came on here saying "I'm an Air Force vet who's into 67-8-9 Camaro's, but wants a C63" not only would I have had a different greeting for you but I know some others would have too. I have my part in that, and Ill own up to it. I may be in Canada, but I have a lot of respect for those that have served on either side of the border.
Now lets chill out before somebody starts singing Kumbaya or something lol.

Damn, 604 I wouldn't let anyone valet my Civic Si much less my C63 lol. I'm a nit about my cars and keep them pristine and I've seen valet's bump into countless things and they deny culpability when confronted. My good buddy used to valet at a casino by me and major hotel and would do it buzzed, valeting like lambos and ferraris and such. Since then I'm super jaded...I'll park my damn car in back somewhere lol.

Heres my rationale with valets....I only use them if my car is immaculate. I mean, pristine. If your car looks loved and babied, they take better care of it. Show up in a dirty C63 with cheeseburger wrappers on the floor and they are gonna beat the everlovin snot out of it. And who can blame them? I would too.

Smaller feeling too, and that helps.
Never loved that car. It did a lot of things really well, with ease, but it lacked personality.
To me anyways. I just never really.....connected with it. Had it about 3 months and I was ready for the lease end
but had another 33 months to go.

I now have the old "look back" feeling with the C63 all over again.
