OK, heres the story behind Nella's Cuda "Sunfish". It had been sitting next to the original owners house since 1992, freshly painted, rebuilt motor and new front seat covers and top. I watched it for a couple years and stopped several times to inquire about it but could never catch anybody at home. One day I finally caught up with the owner and asked if it was for sale. He told me he had been offered $5K for it several times but turned down all offers. I told him what I would like to do with the car, and offered him $2500.00 for it and that it was a cash offer. I didn't even get home and there was a message on my machine (before cell phones) fromhim saying that he and his wife talked it over and they were sure that it was going to a good home and that I could buy it. I took Nella and Mrs. cosgig over to have a look and meet the owners and the gentleman had it out in the driveway running, he had just spent $$$ tuning it up so I could hear it run. The brakes were locked up, but when I went back with my trailer, we pulled it up with a chain and the brakes freed up on the ramps. Of course over the years we have upgraded many things, but I have been true to my plan...this is Nella's car and she makes all the decisions on what to do, where to go with it and when to drive it. We have been by the original owners house with it many times and they always like to see it, come out and take pictures and sit in it and relive their time with the car. They know they did the right thing for the car and it's in good hands!!! Thats the story of "Sunfish"!! Geof
