after a trip to Bakersfield for a month or so in the fine care of our own Skip and his wife, Mikes, (Plan9) old Merc is back in Highland Park but this time in MY back yard. so much for starting my hot rod project. Iam a happy mo fo ! I need a rear bumper and deck lid !
Happy -- looks good. I'd love to have one of those. When will the SoCal HAMBers get to see it on the road? Paso '06? Primer Nats '06? Good luck and I wish you a quick & successful build!
right on hopper...!! should be cake for you. if the man turns me loose early enough, ill be by tonight with some car covers and other goodies.
I wanted your merc, but NOOOOO ! locked garage door, DAMN ! you wont sell it for the $2 bucks I offered. I tried to trade ya for a bent hubcap , and all my ***ual offers were ignored. ya left me no choice.
Man those would have to be SOME ***ual favors! Bump's got a BEAUTY full Merc! Highland Park, Bakersfield, Highland Park........I'm so confused, so so confused. Saw it in Plan9's yard, saw it in Luke's garage......so when do I get the Happy tour?
***, Drugs and Rock n Roll? Cars, Bars and Guitars? Wham, Bam, THANK YA M'am? Gas, Gr*** or ***? This Merc stops for cold beer, loose women and more cold beer? No honestly I forget what it said. Brandy
So'ohs lemmie get this straight: Mike (Plan90) kicks the Merc ta Baker, Hoppy receives, an lands it back in EL-lay.....huh? any nuns involved, any Leather Nun duds found in the back seat or trunk? Wow, a Merc with rockers an'ah floor, man ya gotta be jokin' me!
No no see it goes like this Plan9 had, Plan9 sold, Luke Jivetalker bought, Luke moved it to Bakersfield, Luke sold, Happy bought, Happy moves it BACK to LA. Confused?
Damn, that was fast. Nice score, Leaving it a four door? I'm partial to four doors. With four kids, it makes it ALOT easier to pile them in the car. Keep us posted on the progress of it.
actually it goes Plan9 bought it and parked in my back yard for a year. then it went to Plan9's house for a month. Luke bought it and went to Bako, now happy has it and back in LA. Dang!!! happy, did you take the day off from work to go it? that was quick. congrats.
thanks everyone, going to get it running,then decide on keeping 4 door or not. its going to get blasted, most of the paint is gone Christy, Skips wife. but it sure will make life easy if its all clean, inside and out. Skip dragged the Merc back to L.A. for me, he did a great job backin' that trailer up my drive way. thanks man! I work about 10 min.s away from home, I took a long lunch and meet Skip at my place. I didn't want to go back to work ! it was dark when I got home today , but that didn't keep me from sitting in it, whit a flashlight in my lap ! LOL!
Is that a 49 or a 50? Or a 50 with a 49 nose? Lets see the dash! Merc owners need to know..LOL.............OLDBEET
