FBBO Benefit Auction for @moparedtn!

[moparedtn]

I thought the atmosphere had a more rose like quality to it today.

Whew. Remind me to stay the heck outta THAT garden....

 

[BDF6]

I farted.

Most people just say they got something in their eye when they tear up dude. Admit it, you were tearing up with all this heart-felt goodness.

Tearing one off is more fun than tearing up.

Tearing one off is more fun than tearing up.

If you're doing it right, one often leads to the other.

 

[moparsaver]

Jeez, you guys and gals are tough! $300.00 for the RR set, if Tom is willing to let them go.
No pressure my friend, if you decide not to let them go , I will contribute regardless. I know this stuff is collectible. And, by the way, I am a Jeweler. My appraiser would go bezerk
right now!

No response to messages sent...

The Plymouth and Dodge hanging signs will be OVER packaged and insured to make sure that they arrive safely. And because of delivery agents like this.

Thank you!! All of you are Awesome.

"'evenin', y'all"
Ok, I guess it's time for a bit of an update from my corner of the world....
First off, all the "early auction" winners have sent me their money in record time!
THANKS Y'ALL - Hope everyone is in communication with the donors to arrange
shipping and all that jazz....

Next, I have a couple more folks to embarrass here :
- Hey Margaret P! Your PP was out of the blue to me and arrived just fine.
THANK YOU for your kind words and your gift and God bless you and yours!!
(Is she a new member here? Somebody help me out here)

- Hey ANONYMOUS! Yep, this person insists on remaining anonymous, despite my wanting
to sing their praises to everyone and I can respect that.
Regardless, THANK YOU for caring and for all the wonderful words of encouragement!

Finally, a couple of you folks are insisting on sending money for auctions that haven't officially
finished yet....
I always offer to refund them when that happens, but so far, a couple of you are dead set on
sending money now, even if you wind up not winning?
Well ok, we'll keep track of all of that too, for whatever the motivations are.

It was an awful day for finding a gig (still real quiet in this neck of the woods) but a productive
day on the ridge, what with chores and such getting done ahead of the coming armageddon from
whatever that thing is in the Gulf right now.
Got roasted while mowing the north 40, but it got done....

OH, I'm thinking of making a video for you folks showing some of where we are up here, the GTX
of course, things like that so you can see a bit of why I'm rooted here and why my Fred is special,
if only to me.
That is, if y'all could stand such a production?
Anyways, that's the news from here. Again, THANKS EVERYONE!

 

[BDF6]

Yes, it's time for some GTX pics Ed!
And a little history lesson of the car & you please?

Good Lord, my friend - it's not like all that crap is on this site somewhere...
I'm no videographer, not by a long shot - but I have an idea and I may well give it a shot
when all this is over.

 

[coloradohill]

Anyone home? Hello...........

Hope all is well

 

[moparedtn]

Anyone home? Hello...........
Hope all is well

I'm here anyways.
Yeah, it's been quiet in the thread for a while....

[coloradohill]

(40. Holley 3310 750 cfm vacuum secondary carburetor donated by @Beekeeper (Post #255) .)

This is what will make it enjoyable! It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to have some of your storytelling built in.

I have followed many of the threads here relating to your escapades, but seeing a video, some of the history of your GTX and why it is special would be fun to hear!

Item number 29 - 1961 Motor's Repair Manual $25.00

 

[halfafish]

I'll bid $40 on the 62 FSM, item #30, post #149.

Also, let's take the reserve off my air cleaner, item #23, post #116. I thought we were doing reserves on these when I sent it in, but better it sells for something than nobody bids on it.

 

[Bb70charger500]

I'll throw $20 on the air cleaner #23
So who wants to out bid me????
