If I could find my dad's 'Cuda he had back in the early '70s, I might consider selling the house to buy it.
Wait...I just heard my wife talking. Nope, that ain't happening
I was taught the mortgage payment is the most important of all financial obligations.
Not until after we were finished raising the kids could we justify spending the money on the car I wished for since I was a kid.
Plus a few others as well, since.
And all for less than the cost of some of the new 2500HD's I had my eyes on at the time
My '69 Roadrunner was the car I always wished for, but never thought I could afford. Got a great deal on it IMO.
Ever since dad and I restored an FC7, 1970 Duster back in the early 90's, I always wanted one like it. Very happy I found one.
Dad impressed on me the love for Tri-Five Chevy's. He owned a '56 & a '57 in his lifetime.
I felt I completed the circle by purchasing this '55 after he passed.
I'm the 3rd owner, never been restored, one repaint back in early 90's, 45k miles.
And mama wanted hers too...
