I have 3 kids that all wanted the small mouth 3. Daughter and 2 sons. I have done a frame up and restoring it back to factory (still working on it but getting there). I have footed the bill for all parts and most will know it’s not cheap. Whoever gets it will drive it the way I did. Not a big deal at all. Live in Canada and drove it all over the western US as far as Mexico. A great experience. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Choice of who will get it came down to a few factors. Oldest son wanted it because he is the oldest. Unfortunately not mechanically inclined but had no problem getting his hands dirty. Daughter really wanted it because she’s my daughter. Have to say I made her take the head off her 1<sup>st</sup> car to get a valve job done and do oil changes but I was there to help. Great reason but if something happened it would sit. Youngest son wants it AND he has helped in the tear down and the rebuild. He’s a white collar worker but mechanically inclined. Not afraid to work on it and get er done. He’s offered to help paying for the body work. He’s the logical choice. Was always a bit concerned what the others would say but they both understand completely. Was never a choice to sell it and split the money.
