A small dream has died.
A dream of restoring a 1962 Ford Falcon.
A couple years back Steve and the boys had a dream of restoring this old relic.
The dream wasn't a huge disappointment. We had a few difficulties along the way getting the body work done...so that was a frustration. A year ago we brought the car home unfinished and stored it in our garage. Not really having a place to finish it & the boys loosing interest...we covered it with a tarp. We were getting a little tired of working around it and winter was coming (the real reason!!!) so we decided to part with it. We can't feel to bad about it..the boys learned a lot about cars, engines, body work and most of all, they spent time together....priceless!!!
Well, after many attempts to sell it on CL we finally nabbed a buyer.
Let me just say he was the most unlikely buyer I could imagine. I would imagine a 66 year old retired guy that owned one of theses babies in their teen years. He is.... less than 30 year old, married with 2+ kids and is an attorney!! Go figure!!!
Anyway ...he came up with the cash! He came Saturday with a car trailer and took that baby home. He left the engine with us till Thanksgiving week-end as he ran out of room on the trailer.
I swept out the garage and Steve proudly pulled the Lincoln in that spot!!
