Title: The end of an era ..... sorry Brad.....
Post by: BIGSHCLUNK on January 07, 2018, 08:00:19 AM
Last fall on a flight out to Vegas I got into a car discussion with the guy I was sitting next to. Turned out he was a "mopar guy". Of course he had to get the lo-down on Miss NIKKI. Then the conversations turned to the cars he was working on / restoring. I told him of some of my parts cars, me selling pueces so others could live on. About a month later he stops by my shop, wanting to take a look at what I had. Well he was serious about parts! Not a tire kicker or a need to talk to the eife kind of guy. He asked for some "numbers" ... DONE!! Go figure.. he bought 2 of my chargers (that were already very picked over. And...... wait for it...... my GTX. Which really was kinda hard to part with. But the reality of her getting on the road..... well you know....     Sorry only 1 Chager pic it was to dark when the 70 was picked up

You can't go wrong selling those Chargers now I think. The GTX will require quite a bit of metal by the look of it, sometimes reality and budget of time sets in.

Congrats @BIGSHCLUNK (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/bigshclunk_53)!   I never have such luck on plane rides.  Usually sit next to someone who is sick, or bitchy or wants to occupy both their seat AND mine.   :Thud:

Is he going to restore them or use them for parts?

I'm sure you two will come up with something. Maybe he has a Jav hiding in the back of the lot.

The Chargers will be cut up for parts. Lord knows they were pretty "parted" already. I have the feeling the GTX will be moving on to someone he knows. Funny thing is I don't even know the name of his shop. I did know the name of his payment tho....  :rofl:  Brad, I will continue to razz you just because..  :bradsthumb:
