You cant seem to let go of? Hauled my '40 coupe home yesterday to hang the front sheetmetal on it and then peddle it. I sold it once,bought it back and even though it's a distant 3'rd on the 'to-do' list I look at the rusty hulk and can envision it done and looking cool.
Bob40....thinking of tossing more money into a pit..lol
1971 Dodge Colt 4-door.... think Mitsubishi, before they got it right
dad bought used, Oct 1973. electrical problems galore... had to take the automatic floor shift apart once a week, and clean the contacts to get it to start. ran fine until 1975
sold it to a neighbor (mr. A) in 1976
Mr. A got all the electrical gremlins fixed on it, and I bought it when he threw a for sale sign on it in 1977.
it eventually was a third car, so another neighbor (Mr. F) bought it for his son my age.(1978)
told him the valve cover gasket leaked, and check the oil , it would need a quart every other tankfull....
yeah...... , ok, Mark
6 weeks later, David (mr. F's son) has the motor grenade. oil light comes on, and before he shuts it down, it coughs up a connecting rod.....slap another engine in it, and he gives the car to another son, who drives the thing until 1982.
was a good car, once Mr. A got the electrical gremlins fixed in it.
Bob,
Selling and buying them back is allowed with Studebakers and horses. Both can be trained to eat out of your pocket.
Missed you Memorial Day. The North Star Chapter had 220± cars for their Memorial Day Show in Hugo, MN. Nice warm weather and a great spectator crowd too. About 25± Studes in attendance.
The 40 could be a neat car, but I'd say work on your CE man!
