Found my dads original 1971 duster!

Part 6

After pretty much begging him to sell me the car and asking why he would deny me this again, he asks how I got his phone number. I tell him that 25 years ago, I got it from my uncle who worked for hydro. He asks my uncles name…I tell him and he says “oh, I know Tom. Do you know Nancy?”
I reply “yes, nancy is my mom!”
He replies “oh, I went to school with her!”
So to keep from boring everybody. It still took a few months to convince him to sell it to me…and a big part of why he did was because when I went to introduce myself…his wife popped her head over his shoulder and said “Derek??” She was my guidance councillor in highschool! Lol
There’s a lot more cool stuff to the story, but in the end, I picked up the car and it is now nearing completion :))). It was still all original, with its “virgin” 340, as the engine builder called it. (never been touched). After sitting for all of those years, we put a breaker bar on it and it turned over without hesitation!
I’m supposed to pick the car up 2nd week of may. My dads ashes will be along for the ride :))
