Literally "stolen it" from you!!!!

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
 

Awesome project... love those 1961's! Did someone really steal it? Thats a shame if they did.

That´s sad to hear Niclas. I just hate these guys who take your money and don´t deliver. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]
I´m glad I have my friend Kimmert in C.T. He fixes everything from paying the seller, to delivering it to the buyer in Sweden. He´s trustworthy.
I hope you get the car in the end. You must be as crazy as I am, because I would not hesitate to work on that car if I had the time. Would be a real cool car when finished. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

If you want I can start a new tread and post the story there.

Too funny. Annie and I took the owner of Brandts out for Christmas dinner last night and I showed her this picture. It made her evening. She is 88 and still runs the international company and Nationwide race sponsorship and loves seeing their stuff on the road. She also loved the car as she is also a gearhead. Not bad for an 88 year'ol lady.

Here's a couple of interesting Oldsmobiles. The green car is what's left of a base 442 post 4speed car.

It was wrecked hard in the 70's and the corpse was picked clean. The original engine, trans, and 3.90 rear are still floating around the area, supposedly.
