The visit from the previous owners was indeed very interesting. When I first read Jim Hager's story, and he said he had been in Nam for 30 months, I kinda figured he wasn't a draftee. When he arrived and got out of his car and had a Blackwater shirt on, I knew I'd guessed right. Jim had been Marine recon during that time, and to some degree has never quite left either the military, or it's "other" branches.Talking with him was an event in itself.
His wife Pat also came with him, and the two were kinda like kids again while riding in the car. She even mentioned how she used to sit on the console when she rode with him.
Don Riley was a pretty cool guy too. His memories were from a little different perspective, but they had both beat on her pretty good. He told us the full story of the chunk out of the spoiler, and broken frt spindle while evading the cops.
Dan had some good memories he shared also. And without his digging, we'd have never found the first two.
All had that"I never thought I'd see this car again" statement, and the look on their faces like a dead relative had just walked in the door.
It was one of the most enjoyable days I've spent in a long time. I guess I'd have felt the same way had I sold my yellow deuce when my father in law wanted me to, and found it years later. Sure glad I held out on that one.
Thanks to Alan for sending these gentleman out. It was a good time had by all, and a lot of rekindled memories on the part of these former owners.
