OK. here's another one for the Haunted Car With a Million Stories file.
I was working on one of our work trucks today when one of the mechanics comes up and we start talking. He remembered that I had the red hemi charger and he starts talking about his family friend that bought one new, back in 1970 and always wondered where it went. I asked what his friend's name was and he says: "RICHIE WICKBERG."
I said: "Richie Wickberg, Sr, from Edison, New Jersey?"
And he says: "Yeah, how did you know he was a Sr?"
I say: "Sit down, I have a tale to tell..."
It turns out his family has been friends with the Wickbergs for years and the father always wondered what happened to his old car, that he bought new, that his son blew up and sold. He always wanted to see that car again.
I gave him my cel # and told him to call them NOW (which he did, and left a message) and have them call me so we can all get together.
Stay tuned for further episodes...
