Yeah, most of us probably have a story. Mine is a friend of mine who ran the local wrecking yard I frequent. He passed a few years ago, but shortly before that he had me do the mechanical on a 63 ½ Galaxie 500 XL. I put in a rebuilt 390, rebuilt top loader, did a gear change, disc brake conversion, all new brake lines and on and on. This was a running, driving, nice straight rust free, bucket seat Ford and he had collected the parts to do the paint and interior prior to his death.

Since he passed his kid has moved the car from the shed his dad had it stored in back out to the yard where it sits (I’m afraid to go by and see what parts have been pilfered).

I’ve asked about it a couple of time, offering to either buy it or find a buyer for it (I just want to see it find a good home). Each time the kid says he’s going to finish it someday and drive it ........oh well.
