On the way to the dealer someone flipped a cigarette into the cockpit and completely burned it out. It was so pristine on the outside that the wire wheels were still coated in Cosmoline or whatever they used during shipment. Only a couple of miles on it. Then we did an estimate on the cost of replacing the interior and all trim plus associated sheet metal. We promptly sold it to another buyer. Canary Yellow body. It was a dream. But as many good things go, good sense made us part with it. Did the same thing with a new Lotus Elan. $5K for a rear wheel suspension "A" arms. That guy arc welded the suspension arms where they had broken off and drove it himself. I wouldn't have. I particularly remember a Styrofoam front bumper painted silver on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In St. Paul, the big Rod and Custom show is big enough that with the fair grounds where it's held right in the path of a metropolitan rush hour, some entrants go home with a broken heart from the collisions when entering the fair grounds or leaving. Sad to see artwork destroyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
