41 - I too have some grey in my beard now. My Dad got his first 71 GT in '77 when I was still 15, I couldn't wait to drive it when I turned 16. I got my own when I was about 16 1/2. It was a 73, I "upgraded" to a 70 whithin the year. We had GTs untill around '87 when I sold his 71 which had become mine by then. Opelitus was dormant untill winter of '02 and by spring/summer/fall of '03 I was deep into them again. I was up to 7 Gts, 4 were parts cars. I have a lot of work to do on the 2 I currently have left. One is rust free/ no interior from Texas, and one has near perfect interior/rusted body from Pa. I think the Texas GT will be ready by spring/summer '04. I hope!
Maybe I'll do the rusty Pa. one as a v-6 Auto for my wife. She has tolerated my illness very well so far and even says she likes the little GTs. She deserves one for herself as a reward.
