Well, we are back, 1st off everyone including dads new mopar is safe and sound!! Well maybe not sound, but safe. 5200km's in 4 days!! 1, yes only 1 nite in a hotel!! The rest of the trip was spent putting the engine in as well as driving!! We got to Jim/Nancys around 10 pm that night, so we took a look at the car and then were off to a hotel for the night. Both Jim and Nancy generously offered to put us up for the night, but we had to graciously decline...3 guys in a truck for 36 hours??? It wouldnt be right to do that to them. The air freshener wore out within the first 6 hours. 1st pic is of the gift Jim gave me(hope they were new), that I had to wear and take a pic of...I dunno "Jaws"/Dave said its some kinda Colorado ritual...seems weird to us Canadidaians(as Dave would say) Anyhow the spotted undies are pretty cool and there is even a pocket in the back....for a cell phone maybe??? Or for the "Horny Goat Weed" they sell in the Colorado rest rooms???
2nd pic, I thought it fitting that I put my fabo "A body muscle" shirt on...sorry I almost feel like I shamed it....
3rd pic is of Jim and Dad(George) after dropping the engine in and getting it loaded on to the trailer that Mike "2Darts" graciously lent to us.
4th pic is of me in the middle(dont ask why...its a Colorado thing), Jim/ "JimsDuster" is on my right and Dave"Jaws" is on my left.
5th and 6th pics are ones I took at a gas station on the way home.
7th pic is of me having a moment with my new friend at the "Sinclair" gas station in Colorado on the way.
The rest of the pics are ones that Jim had taken to show me the condition of the car. Jim was more than honest and was extremely gracious as well as fair as to his price. The car is beautiful and dad is beyond happy with his new purchase!! Obviously I am very happy that dad now owns a beautiful 67 "S" cuda, but am extremely grateful to Jim for helping me find a beautiful car for my dad. Thanks to Dave for helping with the duct-tape "issues" and for helping load the car. Also a big thanks to Mike "2Darts" for lending us the trailer, the generousity and integrity of the people on fabo are simply amazing!! My dad is not a thru and thru Mopar guy, he is a car guy, but now that he owns a Mopar, I can now hopefully help share my knowledge with him and help him finish this car. I think this is the best part of all. Thanks again everyone! Time for me to go get some shut-eye!!
Ps Scott you wanted a "trunk" shot?? Was that of the car??
