I bought my 1972 Stingray in 1988,sold it in 1991 to buy my first home the when I recovered cash flow I saw it sitting for sale on the side of the road in another county.
Askd the owner about and he said that some one left him a deposit so I left him my business card and left dissapointed.
He called 2 days later and asked if I still wanted the car?
I picked it up that day.
I will never leave it again.
