Yeah, had to do it. No April fools prank. No Ozzum, I actually hated the attention from it. Im (despite some harrumphs about to happen Im sure) a very low key person. The car is beautiful, cool, all that stuff, but truth be told, Im paying off debt and fixing up my 68 SS/RS 396 Camaro.
Yes, theres a bowtie infiltrator here, but remember I ( my wife) has the 69 fastback so I can still come here and play in yalls sandbox
. The Shelby was sold to a State Highway Patrol officer, real nice fellow. He got a great deal , I paid off some debt I needed to be rid of , everyones happy. Turns out my bodyman didnt even put one of the cowls back in it, and screwed up a couple other things that the buyer found later .I dont know bodywork, if I did, Ida done it myself and not paid this idiot for what he said was a "great job". His best ever. Yeah whatever. So, the buyer was pretty upset, and I couldve easily just said caveat emptor and walked, but Im not like that. He got estimates on what would be needed to make underneath correct, and I mailed him the full payment
. Was the "right" thing to do. So hes very happy with the car, and Im sure will get a lot of enjoyment from it. Hes leaving it as "Eleanor" for a while, then Im sure one day will return it stock. Prolly gonna sue my bodyman to recover what I sent the fellow to fix the things that were wrong.
So its no joke.
