to Jeremy, aka fellow HAMBer dude 6ftunder flew all the way up from Vegas to Seattle to seal the deal too thanks Jeremy, hope you enjoy it as much as I did, in the mean time, me and the old lady are going out for tacos and maybe a beer or two, her to celebrate, me numb the shock
I'm sure I will. It's been a bit of a search for something done right. I hope to find a ride home for the car soon.
Would have been a lot of people that eye-balled that RPU for possible purchase, myself included. Nice buy Jeremy.
transport dude picked it up for delivery yesterday, took it home to load a second car, backed the RPU out of the trailer to put the second car in front, and scrubbed the pan on the ramp, making a mess.. he called to tell me about it and I told him to bring it back so we could make it right. 'put a good band-aid on it, and fresh oil and filter.. he just picked it up again and is heading South now the coupe also left today sold it to someone a bit closer to home. down to one.. enough room in the shop to swing two cats now
Holy!, That's a radical liquidation. To 6ftunder, that is an acceptable excuse for not driving it home. To coupe buyer, Great new car! To Paul, get ready for serious separation anxiety
Nice stuff. You having any sellers remorse? How do you guys get away with driving cars like that. Go to jail around here.
Congrats to the buyer and the seller- Paul, I hope all is well and your not having to sell your rides. Best to all, Greg
I've seen that RPU around. Great car. That coupe is rad too. Congrats on the sales. Selling the roadster too?
The plan was to focus on the one, but natural instinct has me looking for something to replace what is gone.. Must... Stay... Focussed...
Congrats Paul, just sent my 62 Bonneville Safari on it way today... Now time to focus on my Woody... Going to miss seeing that RPU !
I hope that you won't soon be posting on the. - " I shouldn't have sold that" thread'. Sometimes life dictates that other things come first, I' m sure the new owners will appreciate and enjoy your cars. And good to see that you kept the best one. Although they all look like neat cars.
Very nice. Congratulations again! Have fun with the car, and enjoy the little one as well. Looks like you're living well.
WOOT WOOT! She unwillingly passed, and got a new plate. Pretty slick though... It's more like aluminum sticker. Oil pan will need some love, but shipper was obliging; with a little discount. Gonna be fun! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
6ftunder, nice purchase. Makes me want to finish my own RPU build. I'll get there Paul, if I had sold that RPU I would have been posting almost immediately on the wish I hadn't sold it thread
I'll likely drop the pan and do some welding, but what is the span of years/eng sizes that share the same pan? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
'49 to '56 should fit you will need to get the matching year gaskets they changed a bit but I don't remember exactly when.
I hate to see them gone, you had them, what? Almost 10 years ago when I visited you. But again, good to see some fresh building diaries here on HAMB.
