I was into the hot rods in my early years..Z28s...Chevelles..etc but I did like the look of the 69-72 K/5 and I always thought I would like to own one.
Finding a nice one, in good shape was difficult locally...especially before the advent of the WWW
I had a neighbor that moved here and brought an old '71 with him....been parked for years and was in fairly rough shape but I bought it anyway with the intention of a full restoration.
Time constraints changed that plan, so I parted it out and began looking for one that was in better shape to start with.
Found the '70 and made a deal on it a few years ago....then I met some guys locally that had K/5s and made friends with them.
One had a black '72 and I had actually helped him work on some....I had told him that if he ever decided to sell....I would be interested in buying it.
About a year later he called to say he wanted to sell....now I have it too...
top reasons for me to have one:
Tough as a truck
Fully convertible
Rare...not many left anymore
Valuable
FUN!
