polara71,
how did I find her......it was actually the other way around. she found me.
at that time, I was looking for a "father-son" project for my youngest son, to be his first car.
on my way back home to look at a '68 Mustang Fastback, I noticed it at a gas station, off to the side.
I usually look at cars everywhere, get the book at the local supermarket, bank, Chinese restaurant, etc.
I really didn't know what I saw as I drove by, but I knew it was old, and I didn't ever remember seeing
one of "these". I went back maybe two days later, and realized on the spot, that this car would be mine.
in 1991, after my oldest son was born, I had a 1958 Chrysler Saratoga. 354 push-button. I had that one
for a year, but mortgage payments, food and diapers were more pressing than a toy, so I had to sell her,
and do what I had to do. still have the memories and pictures. so when I saw the 300K, it all came back to me!
one phone call to the owner and one test drive later, and we shook hands on a price. needless to say, my wife
was surprised to see him come home with this new car! she wasn't overly surprised, since she knew I was "itching"
to get another old Mopar. and the fun begins.......LOL
