Default Re: Dads '77 Z/28, the suspense is killing me

Awesome find and best of luck putting a deal together.

My Father, who was not a "real" car guy, but was a VP at Chrysler would always talk about his 63 Chrysler 300 Convertible. Whenever the subject turned to cars, (which it often did when my brother and I were around), it was his 300 Convert.

Well...after 32+ years at Chrysler, there was occasional talk about future retirement. Mom, my Bro and I decided to search for a 63 to duplicate that ride. We ended up finding a near duplicate in none other then LaHarpe, IL a year or so later.

We spent several years gathering parts and getting ready for a resto. Unfortunatly, Dad passed away before even retiring and he never knew we had that car along with a huge collection of parts stashed in the back of my garage...

Anyone in the LaHarpe area remember a guy with a bunch of cars in the back of his farm along with a variety of others in his barns in the middle 80's? I remember him saying the 69 Roadrunner belonged to his son?

Anyway, hope you can make this happen, you will be glad you did!
