Well I’ve had the itch ever since I missed out on the green 4 speed convertible a couple months ago.
Saw this one and have been checking it out for a while. My wife said she really liked it and that she would drive it all the time. (Sounds like she wanted it too!). I preferred a 4 speed but she can’t drive manual. Big shout out to
@HemiSSDart for talking about the car to me and vouching for it. Took a day trip out to North/South Carolina 1.5 weeks ago and today this thing showed up.
Super clean car, probably to nice for me, my kids and ice cream… but we will enjoy it. I’ll get more pictures when it’s not raining.
Fun story of today.
Jim put the car in the garage, of course I had a contractor over at the same time to go over a French drain. We chatted for a bit then after he left the wife came out to look at the car. I was telling her how it needed nothing, started up with ease and all the good stuff….
Then I opened the door and turned the key… No Start! Cranking and no start… car flooded, I guess choke on carb (butterfly choke?) stayed open and flooded the carb. Wife said “this isn’t very promising and disappointing… and left.”
Put my foot to the floor, cranked it and got it started but at that point she was already gone.
Kids love it and want to drive it but it’s raining. The trusses in my big shop are about to be redone and then the roof spray foamed so it will stay in the house garage for a little while.
