KC, I deleted one of your double posts and it deleted both. Sorry about that. I was able to grab it from my cache.

Just to add to these great comments, there are a number of us on this forum that were fortunate to experience the good old days of the '60's and early '70's muscle cars and trust me that was a magical time for us that were there at the time.
Having said that, "The good old days are here today" and these new generation limited edition Boss cars that were produced for a 2 year run in 2011 and 2012 are not neing produced anymore so I suggest any automotive enthusiast that wants something special should act quickly in order to own one of these classic cars.
To all of the new Boss owners you may not realize it but you are experiencing and going through exactly what us older fellows went through back some 40 plus years ago. Many of you are the original owners of these limited edition run of Boss cars and that opportunity may not come around for quite some time so enjoy your experience with these great cars just as we did back in the sixties and seventies. This time around the documentation and paperwork for these cars are much better let alone the outstanding performance of the world class automobiles.
I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience the thrill and excitement of the early Boss cars and again with these new generation Boss cars. These new Boss cars take me back to my early youth and am very greatful for this experience.
Trust me, whoever purchased one of these new 2 year run limited edition Boss cars has purchased something special and as time goes on you will begin to understand and appreciate how great and special these new Boss cars are.
This is a well said version of my sentiments, too. I'd add that the old Boss will require you have great repair skills, have a keen sense of emerging mechanical problems, and probably a limited travel range until you're very comfortable with the health of the drive train. I don't suspect most owners of 69/70 Boss' take theirs on impulse drives through twisty mountain passes very frequently. Don't forget the security factor - the older cars are way easier to break into and/or steal. This will also limit where you can even park it.
To me it would come down to: do I want to enjoy showing it (old), or enjoy driving it (new). Either will look great in your garage on the way to your daily driver. "
