My father is very happy now

[stephanie]

My father is very happy now,found his first car and it was a 1969 GTX today.He told me so many memories with this car and the sad part he had to sell it when he found out my mom was pregnant with me.He was tearful when it left after he sold it.he bought it back for $20,000.00 and the front bumper is the only piece that needs replaced,car was restored 7 years ago.I seen the car for the first time today and he bought it today.I seen the pictures of the car 10 years ago.I am glad he got it back and he regrets selling it.

He is sleeping very well now,I will probally get it the day he goes.It has the original 440 with the 4 speed.He smoked 428 Cobra Jets with it on the line.Bought it a year old when he was 16 years old and still has the original sales receipt he kept seperately.

Excellent! I was able to keep my 69 RR in storage all these years. It was my graduation present when I graduated from high school. Many years later I was able to give it to my daughter on her 25th birthday. Enjoy the time spent with your father now, for one day I imagine you'll be passing GTX along. God Bless!
