Re: Verne Frantz's Too Cool 62 409!!
Hey Verne, great story and a great car. You really brought home the story of what the car means to you in your narrative. I really enjoyed it. I have loved 409 engines since I first laid eyes on one back in the early '70s. Would love to own one someday (closest I got was a '61 bubbletop with a 348).

Re: Verne Frantz's Too Cool 62 409!!
I don't know how to say this right. IT's difficult. I just got a phone call to tell me that my best high school friend, Jim Holland, the guy who rode home with me the night I bought my '62, died of lymphoma.
I'll miss him. I can't believe how many memories I had with him. HE stopped playnig with cars a long time ago and was into scuba diving and Harleys. He was the best and longest friend I ever had in my life. HE was living just outside cHicago He and I spent many hours in that '62.

Re: Verne Frantz's Too Cool 62 409!!
Verne, I'm so sorry to hear of the death of your long time friend. It's got to be a very difficult time for you.
The story and the car have to be one of the neatest things I've experienced. We all have special memories of the "good ol' days". You have captured and said it better than anyone. Thanks for the trip. Don
