No Stef nobody offended her she was just excited over the car and didn't want to seem like she felt you guys thought she didn't know what she was talking about.No didn't have her sign the car it was in the afternoon and didn't want to take up alot of her time.I was just excited myself just to be in her presence and have her being so kind to speak to us. She didn't have a full understanding of what was happening when she was speaking.First time I've seen those guys listening instead of talking [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] .Whatever happens I was in the presence of something that you just can't explain.I'll never forget it. I'm humbled

Congrats Tim. I found the original owner/builder of a 66 GTO funny car I owned. When these folks find out a very dear part of their past is still around after all these years it has quite an affect on them. I also found the original owner of my Y Chevelle ...his wife was nearly in tears..they had no idea the car was still alive after all these years.Same deal with a Super Duty Pontiac I had. The original owner had passed away but the Mrs. talked for an hour about the good times they had ordering and racing that car. Make the family proud and get it painted and lettered again.

Bob,
Would that be the famous 'Blue Goose' Super Duty.

Yep Steve...Actually it wasn't real famous. It was a local racer.Original owner went to Mercury after GM shut them down with their official ban on racing in '63.I still have a dash plaque from a benefit held in original owners name sponsored by Beswick.....let the new owner know my number if they would like it.

I am certain that he would like to have it. The Goose is one of the cornerstones in his Pontiac collection.
