Right now I am so happy I could just run up the side of a tall building!!!!

Many of you know I have been trying for years to find my original 1965' Coronet 500.. I have been all over the WWW posting and asking for help..

Well last night I checked my e-mail.. I had a one line note from someone that I don't know.

It read:  Get a hold of Eric. I believe he has your old car..  (addy.)

As I have had many of these before I was not getting my hopes up.. I sent out an e-mail to Eric..

This morning I check my mail and as sure as having itchy balls while insulating your attic, I read, YUP I HAVE YOUR OLD CAR.....


Not only does he still have it... He told me where we were when I sold it to him.... BUT then he tells me that he also now lives in FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  WAAAAHOOOOO!!!!

A quick check on Mapquest and I find out he is only 187 miles from me..... 
We are going to set up a time for my wife and I to go see the old girl and tell eachother lies..

I am soooooo happy that  "THE OTHER WOMAN" is still alive and well and even close by...

When you guys talk about selling your cars that have meant so much to you,, well,, I sort of die a little... The old pile of iron was such a big part of my life, I just can't explain....

For those of you that are looking for your old girls, don't give up.. This is such a great feeling..... :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Thanks guys.. I just got an e-mail back from the guy that sent me the addy. to my car. He said he read my story on the 62-65 Mopar site.. I have to get in touch with BK and thank him for all his help..

By the way, for those who remember the T-Shirts being sold on E-Bay, ("THE OTHER WOMAN", that was BK...

WELL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,   It's still very much up in the air.. My workers comp. company is trying very hard to force me to take a settlement. If they were to make a decent offer I might entertain it.. They are just doing everything they can to make my life miserable as they can..

I'm sure the house I wanted to buy in Rochester is gone by now..   I'm not sure but I haven't heard from the Realtor in a few weeks.. Finding doctors up there is a huge pain in the butt.. Comp will NOT let you start with one and move to another.. At least not without a huge fight!!

It's hard to make a move like this when everything is good.. Try having to deal with an insurance company on top of it all....    It sucks!!

I sold her back in 86'.. Long story short, my shop was being shut down by the town it was in and I needed the money to fight town hall..  The entire thing was ridiculous and hurt only me and my family..

The pisser is that after giving up my baby and losing ALLOT of money for more than a year, I lost and went to work for a buddy.. Two weeks later my wife opened the mailbox and the rotten f_____g town granted me a variance...  I was fit to tied!!

I'd sure like to find my old Daytona as I know there is a piece of hash somewhere under the back seat!  ;D

Seriously, congrats on finding the old girl.  Hopefully she has been taken care of.

Can't wait for the pics...and there had better be one of your grinning wall-walking face in the driver's seat! :icon_smile_big:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Congrats Steve, I know how excited you are. I sold my 69 back when I was 17, that was in oh '86-'87, the guy wrecked it the week he got it. Well, last year I finally tracked it down less than an hour from me. It has been setting in the same spot sinse he wrecked it. The title is still in my Moms name, the performance stickers I had put on the windows are still on it. Man it was like walking back in time. Unfortunely, the old guy want sell it back to me yet. He's one of those that keeps saying, "Oh....Im gonna fix that thing one day!"
