Shoot, I have had my 02 since new, and been looking for a 1st gen forever to get. Now I finally got my 68 and I am so excited to get it working. As Cody knows, now my 02 will suffer with the fact that I won't put money into it for a while, but now I have both cars I always wanted.
I am glad you decided to keep the 68, like everyone else said its just the better choice and you will always be able to get yourself a 4th gen later on.
