Glad too see this place so active still after not being here in quite some time!
The last time I posted I believe I had just rebuilt the carb and was getting ready to bolt it back on. Well we did, and the old girl ran like a top. Took it for a short drive, got it all ready to come home and then left for vacation for a week. A few days after getting back, my boy and I went out to make sure everything was still good to go and boom, the car was gone. I started to freak and immediately went to the door of the farmer that gave it to me asking frantically where she was, he was shocked. About a week before hand, so right after we left for B.C. he saw someone in the pull into the yard, load it onto a trailer and leave with it, and thinking it was me and a buddy he said nothing.
So the search was on. After three weeks of scouring the country, we were out of leads and running out of ideas for places to search when I get a call from an old friend. All he says is I think we found your car, and it's not pretty. He then texts me a picture of what's left of the old girl after being used in a derby.
Long story short, we find out who was driving it, call the RCMP and he fully admits to taking it, but because of the age of the vehicle and the condition, it was valued at under 1000 bucks and the asstard got a slap on the wrist, and I'm without my tank.
Move forward a couple of months and I have a new project that the wife bought as she felt horrible about the Cordoba, and though it isn't another B body, it's kind of filling the hole. I miss the car, and this community very much and if another ever comes along for the right price, the current project is getting booted out of the garage!
Cheers everyone, hope all is well with you all!!
