Did you buy this car for your Son?
Richard, He bought it himself and truthfully, I had little to do with it. In addition to watching craigslist (which he does often), TJ overheard a conversation Mike "somethingspecial" and I were having about it, then took it upon himself to check it out. As Renee "PonyGal" and I were wrapping up the July 4th parade in her car, we get a call to meet TJ at a parking lot across town. On the way there, we passed him driving the car!
He was all smiles upon return, followed by the usual teenage "gotta have it now" routine. I then drove it... Nice.... Great handler, good power, seemed very clean and well cared for. Aside from the grille and foglight position, a very convincing clone on the outside! I demanded he have it checked out underneath for rust, repairs etc... but I had no time to do it.
He followed through and I got a call from our "classics" mechanic friend with a hoist who reported it sound. TJ took it from there.........>
To this day, I still have barely seen it! Our big air show starts tomorrow and I have been swamped with details! In the meantime, TJ has put nearly 300 miles on it since Wednesday!
The photos here are from July 4th and our first encounter...
