69 Z-28 Lost After a 28 Year Wait

[PeteLeathersac]

My turn now..
I've been gently asking an old lady here in town over the years for a chance at her '70 Chevelle when she's ready...last I checked in on her was last summer and as usual she was all smiles and certain she had my number set aside and would be calling me when the time came..
Although not something special like Mac lost out on, it's an original owner never winter driven six banger 2 Dr. Hdtp. w/ about 50 thou on it...even still had a set of those old clear plastic seat covers on since new!.
After Macs posting I thought I'd better drive by on the weekend and found a sold sign on her house, the house empty and no one around...my heart sank!.
I didn't even knock on any doors but strangely enough ended up talking to an old guy the next night at one of my kids lacrosse games and happened to ask him where he lived...when he told me, I realized he's a neighbour a few doors down from the old lady!.
He told me she's quit driving and moved to her daughter's out of town and the car was in the drive for a couple days after she left but picked up by whoever the lucky dog was that ended up w/ it!.
So what's a fella to do w/ these people...harass old ladies to give up their wheels?.
