I did a thing involving an iconic car

Small block chevrolet?

No

You're not allowed to come on these forums and be a XXXXteaser !

Part of me thinks early 30s Ford tin, the other part of me Hope's it's a gm product so the ls swap doesn't make me cringe 

Early 30s Chevys were mostly wood. Bad idea.

An offer i made languished away.  On a very cold Cleveland evening - the very evening our own Mazdeuce left for tejas giving love a chance with his newfound Miata - I went to look at something.  Something that I never thought I would ever have the chance to get my hands on.  Something made of unobtanium unless you have a 5 figure bank account or are willing to spend half that on one you can see through.  Something so rare they only made 1.5 million of them in this particular year.  

(Narrator:  This is when Knurled started to laugh audibly, waking the neighbor's dog)

I guess I have a five figure bank account, if the cents matter.  I don't mean to brag.

When I think iconic cars, I think of cars like the VW Type 1.  The Lada 2107.  The.... OOOOOHHHH, I remember the conversation we had when I was picking up the 2.lol rearend, and some of the pieces fit, so I'ma just going to shup now.

Merry Christmas, Patrick.

Brittany just pulled up...

I was going to say the same thing...

I've been waiting for this for a while. Pat's eyes sparkled when he talked about it. 

Im here too.  Waiting and wondering.

I imagine it was like when I was talking about the RX-3 that I acquired under remarkably similar circumstances.  (Going from "I'll never have one of these" to "I just bought a what now?")

Also waiting for pics.

Tease.  Let's see the pics already.... LOL.

Yeah, theres only so much elmo i can watch with my daughter. I need a distraction!

You can't drop a hint like that and keep this crowd waiting. 

This is like the Toyota Supra reveal 

We got it un buried

I took 1.5 million to be a figurative number not a literal number. 

Being iconic and knowing Pat I will then guess a Gen1 Camaro or '55-57 Chevy 2 door. 

Wow!

1957 Chevy 210

Yay!

Woohoo Chevy 

I am prepared to administer an Internet Nut-Punch to the first person who says OMGZ LS SWAP LOL.  (Patrick excepted, of course, it's his car after all)

What we have here is a survivor.

Makes me regret not being able to come up with the cash in time to buy a certain '55 wagon...  I was also way too young to be able to do it justice anyway.
