"the guy who passed it for inspection was picked up for heroin possession last week, explaining now how the car managed to pass."

OK, that was just brilliant.

Sending lots of good thoughts toward your home town this weekend.

He is a better man than I -- I would have walked away with my tail between my legs, accepting that I had been "took" yet again. Good for him for sticking it out -- perseverance is an amazing attribute. My hat it off to him.

solomon~you are right there...it is worth a fortune.

Good for the Investment and he made an excellent choice if there isn't a lot of rust.

I don't know what "headers" are either, but I know the 510 handles great and with a little work, it can be turned into a sportscar. Even better still, if he drops a Datsun 240Z engine into it, he will be nearly impossible to catch.

This is a great piece. And I'm with Auster and the whole lump in the throat thing and all I have to say....me too. Me to.....

1971?
Wow.

Everytime I come here, you leave me with a lump in my throat.

Remember that lady with the ramrod straight back? Every morning I've been thinking of her, and powdery snow...and I shake my head, and not comment for what's to comment?

There's a sense of pride that one can only get from keeping/maintaining something physical like that.

It might not be worth much money, but I bet it's worth a fortune in emotional terms.

How wonderful that he was able to learn all about the car! Please congratulate him from me.
