Maybe you could sell me, my Mustang :D:D

[PG409]

Shaune......I can't afford to sell you your car !:)

And, unlike Hunter, who will probably get his Austin panel back at
a reasonable price, I cannot afford to even get near those two cars.

I had my Model A and the '41. My son was ski racing and the cost
was fairly costly for the family. My wife (ex) said get rid of one of
those cars, cause we need the dough !

So.........

You ever seen that movie Good Luck chuck . where once the girl leaves the guy ( Chuck ) then life gets really good for her .. Similar Huh ..77.

Well what come's to mind is a fella is going up and down the street selling Ten Dollar bills for ten cents each and all we can do is say is that ever cheap aye...

Hello Keith,

Remember back to the times when your son was ski racing; slowly go forward through all the memories you've had with him; you made the right choices then, and I know you would do it all again in a heart beat!

Bgbkwndo.

[PG409]

Dave...thanks, yes you are right ! I would do it again for him,
he turned out a really good guy and my best friend too !!

[Davey_Joe]

nudder thang,..... was that shop on the hill ever huge!!! geez kieth,... we built cars in there!!!....... one lil' fart could clear that place!!!......

[PG409]

Davey...that's why I liked hanging out at "Da Shop" because there
was so much breathing room ! :):)

(Bondo dust was disbursed better )

[stovbolt]

well Keith at least you know they went to good homes right thats one way to think about it

[John in Oz]

Keith you had a couple of potentially great cars and you know you only get out of something what effort you put in and I'd say you put the effort in the right places there with your son and not the cars.

Not everyone can say they owned a car that went on to be a show stopping car.

Good for you all round with owning 2 neat cars at one stage and the way your young fella turned out.

Cheers and Beers, John

My wife (ex) said get rid of one of
those cars, cause we need the dough !

.......Reminds me of the time when my wife said..."either the cars go or I go"...............we don't keep in touch.... Stan. ...

[John in Oz]

Hahahahaha, I had one of those once as well Stan, they just don't understand some of them do they.

When you tell the next one that comes along about that experience they seem to have a bit better understanding eh.

Cheers, John

Yup,
That's the '41 Vert I remember Bob having. The pictures don't do it justice. It was some sweet and real fast.

[Davey_Joe]

with mine it was, "its either me or the race cars",........ sez i,."geez honey,... i'm sorry,... but you run a real close second"!!!........ "that",... only cost a few hundred grand!!!....... (still think about her once in a while)...................

That 'vert ended up crashed on the Langley bypass a couple of years ago. I used to have some pics of it, but I'm having trouble finding them. If I can finally track them down, I'll post them here. I think the car got fixed again after the crash, but I'm not positive.
