Its a small world............

Funny years ago I had a 70 barracuda that just kept haunting Me.
I bought it thinking would be an easy resto . Then found out how expensive E-body parts were ! The car was an absolute mongrel! It was originally a /6 3-spd, had a 318-4-spd when I got it , the interior was from a 71 and some idiot swapped the dash pad w/out changing over the vin tag made it impossible to smog/register. I sold it to some guy who said He wanted to build it up as a father & son project I tried to persuede the guy it was a bad Idea .The guy was practically crying about how his son wanted this car .
Against my better judgement I sold it to him . Some time later I got a call from their neighbor's mother aparently He had sold it to them . The stupid s.o.b. tried to forge the paperwork and gave them a smog certificate from a chevy truck.(back then you were issued a paper cetificate to take to the DMV)I informed Her that I had sold it as a parts car only and had made this guy sign a release absolving me from any responsibility before I sold it to Him.
Then again after I had thought the car was long gone I got a notification from a towing co. Saying the car had been abandoned and I being the last registered owner could purchase it back by just paying the towing and storage fees totaling a whopping $150. ( I often wonder if I should have bought it back and parted it out It did have a nice grille, bumpers ,fenders etc.) The car itself was a rust bucket with a see through trunk floor.
Never did reply to the letter .I got one more call sometime later about it ,once again someone tracked Me down left a message on My answering machine ,I never returned the call . That was a learning experience !
I wonder if I've ever walked past that car or parts from it at a car show?
Guess I'll never know !:toothy10:
