Just when I thought I had too many cars!
1 Attachment(s)
I went to a big car show yesterday & the guy who parked next to me mentioned that he had an old '65 Mustang that he was considering selling. He's had the car for 46 years. At the end of the show I followed him to his house to look the car over. Attached is what I saw when he removed the car cover! Original '65 GT350 with original (born with) engine & trans. I pick it up next Thursday!

Re: Just when I thought I had too many cars!
Neat car! I grew up with one, minus the stripes. A local fellow who used to race XR750 Harvey Davidson had the car left to him by his father, the original owner. I grew up hanging out in his garage with a ton of bikes. The 65 was the only car in the garage. Real neat cars. Can't wait to hear some stories, and if we are lucky see some vintage pics. Congratulations!

Bruce, could I borrow your horseshoe for a while? Cripes. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
By the way, what happened with the black '66 GT-350 you were going to restore? |

You find more hidden jems at car shows than anyone I have ever seen.

Re: Just when I thought I had too many cars!
At first glance I thought it was sitting on snow... had to do a double take (must be so used to it).
I'm jealous - both of the car and the beach! Great score. |

Re: Just when I thought I had too many cars!
Did he give you a deal on it, or did he sell it for the going rate?

Re: Just when I thought I had too many cars!
I had one of my Yenko's at a car show two weekends ago, an older guy walks up and says his buddy has one in the woods beside his barn and that I should buy it. I told him lets go right now, I'll stop at the bank on the way. He said it's three hours away and to give him my number and he'll call me when he gets out there next. I've been waiting by the phone every day since. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Re: Just when I thought I had too many cars!
someone did that to an acquaintance many, many years ago (way before cell phone and GPS), except he told them it was a real SD Trans Am at his sister-in-laws place, she had no phone service out there, yada yada yada
gave him directions to an abandoned old gold mine in Crown King, middle of the desert ... there was no gold (SD TA) and the wild goose chase took the better part of a complete day for him ... the guy said it was running, etc and she needed $1000 for medical bills ... when it sounds too good to be true ... |

Sounds like a good way to get robbed or worse unless you've got a sidearm.

The level of skepticism on this site never ceases to amaze. Without following stories like these, half (at least) the cars members own on here would never have been discovered.

Ya, Another story (of a different Yenko): I took the chance to drive 24 hours to pick up a "supposed" Yenko with no paperwork and no vin. I dragged it home "hoping" that it was a real one, or else I would have wasted my $$. Well I found the vin on it, had it researched, and got docs saying that it is an authentic Yenko. Boy was I glad I took the chance on a hunch of some guy I didn't know... |

When you finally find one it makes all the he said she said stories you've tracked for years fade away.
