It kills me that I could have had it for so little (sub-$500), but the old guy's like a millionaire from investments and such, and he's tight with his son, who's also his lawyer among other things. It would have been perfect to have this one for so little and still have enough for a second nicer car, and work on/get experience with this one when I had time/money. So I guess the irony here is that if he were a poor old guy and needed money, he would probably have asked for more than what I was willing to pay, and I might have turned it down, but since he's rich and didn't need money, he'd rather just give it away to his son than sell it to me for practically nothing. His son lives in CA and he's sending someone out to pick up the car next week. Apparently the fear of someone restoring it scared him good. He apparently was selling this one and a much nicer one at one time for a mere $2800 before his son took an interest. I'm about a year too late. It's been a weird day. Love/breakup songs started making sense again, and I feel like the coyote chasing the roadrunner and I just plucked a tailfeather when I noticed I was standing on a cloud of dust and nothing more. Thwump! I'm certain it's because it's the first one I've seen in person in so many years, regardless of condition. She cast her siren's spell on me for sure. I'll get over it next time I see one hopefully. But then again, maybe not. -John To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
