Found my dads original 1971 duster!
Part 5
In this day and age, I quickly Google and find the guys phone number. He lives 30 minutes from my house! So 25 years after initially trying to buy the car from him…
I dial his number again:
“Hello, ____. You won’t remember me, but 25 years ago you bought my dads 1971 Plymouth’s duster…”
“Ya…and you tried to buy it off me and I told you I was going to strip it down and sell it for parts”
“Wow. You remember me! Well listen, my father has passed recently and I’d like to have a car built in his memory. It wouldn’t mean much without a part or 2 from his actual car being included in the build. Any chance you still have some parts left from it?”
“I still have the entire car. I’ve never touched a thing on it”
Sooooo now the goosebumps and emotions start up!! Wow!!
“Oh my. No way! Is there any chance I can buy the car from you? It would mean the absolute world to me”
“Nope. I think I’m going to strip it down and sell it for parts”
WOWWWWW. At this point, I’m pretty much speechless!!
