If anyone here is at Russo & Steele  be sure to stop by  R code and  bring  him a beer ...... ask for a story  in return  about the car  history / adventures..... you might need more than one beer  but it will be fun conversations.
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

Saw pictures from the late 60s was painted white then, paperwork from Tennessee, Georgia,  but man it was an oddity. I don't know how owner ended up with it because he didn't know much about these cars and he didn't want to fix anything, just seemed nervous and fidgety when I asked him the most simple questions. Didn't register or insure it or change the title into his name until he had to, to sell at auction oh well that one was not for me...  a few other real nice ones up the freeway at BJ.  :D

I had a lot going on time wise and had to leave R-S and head up the highway to BJ and others. Would have liked to say hello but was sprinting out of there, hope all is well and all had a good time. I sure did... Take care. :)
