I was thinking to myself however, '88 wasn't that long ago. Then I did the math - 24 years - wow time flies.

Congratulations on regaining the coupe.

Look forward to seeing it on the road around here? And in AL of course.

 

good on you for not forgetting your coupe and for getting it back

 

A huge congrats on getting her back.

Yes, but it will be no sooner than next year. As a buddy of mine told me, I will have to scab over and heal up a bit from the purchase before I can start putting the bucks into it to make it a reliable roadworthy car again. It has some chassis problems to correct first.

 

DITTO......SUPER, CONGRATS, HAPPY FOR YOU DON, GREAT SMILE, ETC.
WHAT A GREAT LOOKING 5 WIND, I'M OLD SCHOOL, SO I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, THE HIGH MOUNT (ORIGINAL) LITES, THE COLOR, (A BEIGE INTERIOR WOULD LOOK SUPER), EVEN THE WOOD DASH !!!
WE ALL CAN CONNECT WITH YOU CAUSE WE ALL HAVE SOLD A CAR AT ONE TIME IN OUR LIVES THAT WE LIVE TO REGRET.
WE ALL SHOULD BE SO FORUNATE AS YOU.

 

Thanks to all you guys congratulating me.Everything just seemed to fall into place at just the right time. If Danny had offered the car any earlier, I don't think I could have come up with the dough to buy it, but fate aligned just right. The Lord was looking after the old man and helped me on a superficial but to me important opportunity.
Now... if I can only track down my old 59 Vette............nah! I am happy with just this one.

 

Congrats now dont get greedy. We all have those that got away story. Glad you have the happy ending.

 

I ran into Danny at the autofair and he told me the story, Very cool congrats.

 

Great story ! Welcome back home lil 32

 

I love stories like this.

 

HRP said there was a good story behind the sale - thanks for telling it, and congrats.

"And now you know the rest of the story" as the famous radio man use to say. Saw the other post yesterday by the seller and just buy chance found yours this morning.

Great story and congratulations on getting it back.

 

Cool!

 

Good for you man, congratulations!

 

glad this worked out for you neighbor, i got to atleast see my old 55 this spring. god i wanted to take her back home.had to sell it in 88 or 89. they turned her in to a street rod! oh well at least she didnt end up a stock car on a dirt track.lol only knew it was mine it by a rip in the frame i put there in 1979...was that you on cloud nine right over huntsville yesterday? lol

 

Congratulations! I see a trend starting,"Home Again" Danny has his old Tudor back home, you have your old 5Window, this could replace the "Barn Find" deal. Glad she is home again! Bob

 

Super happy for you

 

Very cool, HRP got his old sedan back and you got your 5 window back. Win for both!

 

Well, somebody had to say it...

 

Very cool story. It's amazing how the internet can find the car you thought was lost long ago. Keep us updated on your progress.
