Anyone else get jealous when they see pics of Gordon's car?!?  Man, that 
thing is so mint!  Congrats on a FINE car Gordon - I can only hope that 
my 75 will look half as nice when I'm (eventually) done restoring it... 
  One thing I know for sure, I'll never be the ORIGINAL owner of mine - 
that the coolest...
