Yesterday, my Dad started talking about a 73' he had around the time I was born. It was kinda weird actually, because he doesn't talk much about any one car in particular, so for him to bring it up, I know he misses it.
Car was apparently a black 73' with early chrome bumpers (no tits), deep 6 Fuchs, and a big type IV engine, like 2.2 or 2.4 with 48 Webers and and a performance clutch. Apparently, he had to sell it to help pay for our first house (I was 2 or 3 at the time and would have completely objected had I known) when we moved from San Pedro (LA area) to San Diego in the late 80's early 90's. He said some Japanese guy in Gardena basically stalked him for a year asking over and over again if he would sell it, and eventually, he had to and ended up trading the guy for his 914 plus cash. Anyone have any idea about this car or how I could find it after 20 years? Anyone ever had a situation like this? |

Wait a minute, it's in the enclosed trailer in the driveway... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm in the process of recreating the title (Dad appears to have misplaced the paperwork at some point since the Model T was last registered in 1967). I just got the car back from Loco Larry at the Tin Shed, where he installed Rocky mountain brakes (got to have better brakes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ), a new fuel tank and an electric starter (not a stock item until 1919). Now I'm going through the front end to reduce the "low speed shimmy", a wild ocillation of the front wheels at close to 9mph. It's weird how many reproduction parts are available for these cars, they're much easier to get parts for than a 914. |
