Your friend was lucky!, Lemme tell ya about my experience with one of those ''High-Dollar'' Camaro guys...
I had a garage sale a few years ago. In the sale we had a few dozen boxes of car magazines going all the way back to those pocket-sized ones like Hop-up and Honk! from the early 1950's. 10 cents apiece, the more you buy the cheaper they get, and I'd help you carry them to your car! This dude shows up and says he's restoring a '69 Z28 with the best of everything- NOS cross-ram intake on a standard bore 302 built by some famous engine guy, spinning date-coded NOS belts and turning brand new red line tires on NOS rally wheels. Between that and the 100 layer professional paint job he had over 75k into it and the car was away getting a 20k upholstery job as we spoke. This high roller spared NO EXPENSE! Just my luck, he was looking for a certain (apparently hard-to-find) centerfold ad that was only put in certain magazines (Hot Rod, Car Craft, Motor Trend, etc.) in 1968-'69 introducing, or featuring the new Z28s.

Let's see, 3 magazines, at 10 cents apiece, thats 30 cents. Figure in the 'car-guy' discount and that comes to 25 cents. Gimme a quarter. After an uncomfortable pause - the guy with the self-proclaimed bottomless wallet who doesnt spare any cost when it comes to his car - took a long, hard look at the three magazines he was holding, and said--

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
