I dont figure mine as a "show" car , but some of my friends do...its been "shown"...it was part of the Pontiac exhibit last year at Houstons new car show....but thats not why I have it... I bought mine ,"needed work "...I 'restored' it to drive ,to enjoy ,to cruise...I have probably $24-25k in it...insured for $20k...maybe should go for more , but...I enjoy cruising it, mostly every chance I get, drive it to the office once inawhile , maybe 10 x / yr......but its definitely an "enjoyment cruiser"
