Lost one

Not "A Body" related, but a good (heart breaking) story anyway. Back in 1989 I had a buddy call me on a Sunday morning to tell me about a car for sale that he had just by chance caught while listening to the local radio station flea market on Saturday afternoon and thought I would be interested. "1967 Caprice 2dr (I was 19 and into Old Chevy's back then), Best Offer." I called on it, talked with an elderly lady who told me that the car had belonged to her and her deceased husband and that she was raising her 14 year old grandson and that the car would not drive because he had broken something on it trying to fix it and that she was just going to let him have her car rather than let him mess with the Caprice because her grandson was not mechanically inclined. I arrived at the location and there it was.....a stunning, rust free black vinyl top over yellow and black interior 1967 Chevrolet Caprice 2dr 327 / auto w/ buckets and a console. Not exactly a rare car, but I got excited. But there was another guy that got there before me and had already bought the car........FOR $200! This guy totally took advantage of that old lady! The only thing wrong with it was that the 14 year old twisted the tranny cooling lines trying to remove the radiator because it had a leak. I made sure I told this guy (who was way bigger than me) what an a$$ he was. After that he had the ball$ to ask me if I'd help him load the car! I promptly told him where he could shove it and left.
