Thanked: 4206Amen tom.
Broke my heart that she sat outside for the last two winters just as you see her. Needs a fuel pump before I can move her. Like I said the owner was a certified recluse and near impossible to actually meet, but everything happpens for a reason and she’s finally mine now. I have permission to change the pump where she sits and would rather drive her home than tow her.

Flatbed tow, my man. Get it home and play. JME

Thanked: 4206Thanks Ron,, I think...
And Tom, I could almost push it home. It’s been only two blocks away from my house as long as I’ve lived here. Was garage stored till only two years ago, then it sat there, begging me to take her home and love her again, every time we walked by when we walk our dogs.
There were dozens of notes under her wipers from interested parties over the years that slowly dissolved in the seasons.
My wife happens to work with the owners neighbor so was able to learn about the woman, the car, and the ex husband, a local pharmacist. I did the legwork to find him, and that eventually got me here.. but I never would have gotten here without my wife having the inside scoop.
Yet another reminder, 32 years later that I met the right gal for me..

Two blocks! IF the brakes work, tow strap?
Pulled-up at work the other day and saw a strange sight.
A few friends and some hired-help were pushing a Camaro home from the body shop after nothing was done for 6 months. 7 long blocks.
Laughed my ass off. Told him not to take it there!

I got a good chuckle when I read about the records you got. I have an Indian motorcycle that I got from my cousin that was his dads. Uncle Harvey had passed away before a friend of his told me he had been told that the pistons in it are from a Studebaker truck. I don't know for sure and I am not going to take it apart until I need to find out!
It doesn't look to me from the pictures that you have much if anything to restore.
