Memike, this is the first time I have seen this thread but I read it from start to finish and it is truly the best story I have ever read. It sure shows what a great bunch of people are still in the world and especially on this site. I have been helped by complete strangers besides the multitude of friends and family when I have had tragedies happen in my life. I will remember and be thankful for them the rest of my life as I am sure you will be too. I know from being on this site and observing I can tell you are a very outstanding person and I have never seen anything negative come from you. Sorry I wasn't on here when all this took place but if I can ever help you let me know. Enjoy Victoria for years to come and maybe we will meet up one day,Joe
 
Some dont know but this is merely the finish of the original post where Mike had his ordeal on the other car that led to getting this one. Pull it to the top Mike if you can find it. These two threads should be a mandatory read for all newbies. This is what FABO should be about. REAL car people.

I can not find the Thread ( when I was fighting the law and the law won) I can't remember what I named that thread Bill...
If anyone can find the long thread I posted as I was going to court to get ownership of the 63 Valiant could they post it up here please.
I know we had allot of members wanting to drive here and jack slap this old thief and go behind the law to get this car for me... It may have been removed being so old when we went to a new server.
6/7/2012 is about to be here and this time I have dun my home work and see it will be my 4th anniversary being wedded and loving Victoria.
I don't know what I would do with out her, she has been flawless and has been taking good care of me :happy1:
Only one time in 4 years to not start :) All I have had to do is put my old ecu on and drive her home.
I hope everyone is proud of the updates and new nest I have here in now, She is a sweet lady and deserves the very best I can give here :)
This is just the beginning of the life of this great car I call Victoria .

:D dr's orders Rani :D keeping myself down to 178 and holding, I must say it's hard to keep it off at my age. As for Victoria, she is sporting Ralley wheels she did not have :glasses7: so I think she gained a few from the 13'' steal wheels to the heavier 14'' Ralleys and the bigger tire's :D
But I did remove the cast iron 1 barrel for an Offenhouser 4 barrel intake
so it could be about the same :D

Well, now I know the story of Victoria. Quite the tale and I'm happy to see there was some resolve with the original car.

This might be the missing link. Typed it in from the pic of the magazine article.

That's the one Gryzynx

Long read and I fought the law and the law won, but karma came back and bit the ol fart back.... I have talked to a couple city and county folks here in my area and they said the best thing to do is stay away from that crazy town and they have had there share of complaint's about there court room not flying the American flag in there little court room. Wow, seeing this thread sure brought back some old memories , I am glad to here I have made everyone proud of the way I have taken care of Victoria, I am doing my best a little at a time and keeping her safe in her new nest and now have Grundy insurance on her, just $8.000.00 coverage for now and Ram Wagon is a great driver as I continue moving forward on him :glasses7:

Thank you Rog :D and I agree on the engine :glasses7: But I have a
76 dodge 440 that came out of a 4X4 waiting for a transplant one day to lower into Ram Wagon :coffee2: But the teen will be staying till I get more dun to Victoria, Ram Wagon has been good to me and my 2 sons :glasses7:
Phone rings!! Hello! Hay dad, can I barrow the ramcharger to go pick up my lawn mower and mulch supplies at lows :D
 
Mike, Im sorry to say that I have been here for more than 2 years and just reading yours and Victorias biography now. It took the better part of the morning to read it thru and it was worth every minute. The part that got me is seeing the pics of you when you 1st get to see Victoria..what an amazing heart warming story! Kudos to all that were involved in making this memory!
One thing I didnt see is where and who found Victoria?? Did someone in Illinois have it for sale??

Just kidding about the HEMI, but that 440 sounds like a great project. You are right, it has become a "family" wagon and glad you have her to lend out. My Dad had a '88 Ramcharger, 2wd with a 318, wish I had it now! So just enjoy! Rog
