Supercars' additions

[SuperCars]

55chevy, I have several more new acquistions to post at a later date. Of these, a couple that are in restoration, of which I don't have good photos of them to post yet. I hesitated to post on my web site these recent ones that aren't complete.

Motown-Matt, I emailed off-line the VIN# of my Landy Hemi Dart to you.

hvychev, no didn't buy mine through Fred E. I bought my 71 Blue Hemi Cuda 4 speed Conv a month before the Milton-Tuttle transaction took place. But there was another white 71 Hemi Cuda Conv auto/column shift plain jane el-strippo project car involved. This is a long story too. In December, the owner of that white 71 Hemi Cuda conv had agreed to sell it to me, and we had a verbal commitment agreement by phone. This was on a Friday evening. Monday morning when I called to get his bank's wire transfer info to send the deposit, but he informs me he had a higher offer. He had spent the weekend shopping it around to other guys during the weekend. To make a long story short, he started a bidding war, and got a lot of guys angry, as they would agree on a price and then he would call the next buyer, me included saying what the previous guy would pay. Eventually everyone got so upset with the guy the they all pulled off the car. After all these antics took place, Fred E came afterwards for a different unknown customer. Fred called me asking to buy it for his customer to make a few dollars myself. I was so frustrated with the owner of this white Cuda conv, I did not wish to participate. But as a favor to Fred, I told the owner of the White Cuda that if he didn't sell it at the number Fred was proposing he'd be stupid not to accept it.

Whitetop, you're right about a lot of cars not having stripes. On my Black Motion Chevelle, the front end had been repainted, and fenders/hood replaced from collision damage. The car itself looked to have been repainted a couple times, so I'm not clear as to what stripes it may have had.
