Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
Good idea to snow bird ,we do it now and then. Last year it was rather mild up here, so no need to head south! When do you plan to retire and enjoy the profit from your labors?
Talk to you soon, we are'nt spring chickens any more... keep up the nice work on your truck

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
Hey Jim congrats on Cecila Mary ...since last post sold the Jersey Shore house and now side tracked ... been tryng to avoid this for about 2 years as I new its been sitting in my neighbors garage ....oh yeah for 45 years in hiding... she is now in my garage ...a time capsule. I’m going to methodically resurrect it ...slowly I promised Bob the former original owner 86 years young who parked it in the garage in 1974 a ride when its a running 265 SB with a power glide behind it every thing is how it came out of the dealership(with some bumps and bruises ) original invoice and Jersey title from 55 enjoy the pics....

WOW! That is truly a gem. Hasn't suffered decades of poor decisions by a any number of previous owners is priceless in my book.

Man! Long term relationships have their rewards! SO NICE! Good luck on getting it running and definetly GIVE THAT MAN A RIDE Lets just think about this for a minute.... He was 22 when he bought it new, drove it for 19 years and tucked it in his garage for the next 45 YEARS. This deserves a story written up in Hemmings or some sort of news paper. Just amazing.

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
thanks for the congrats Jesse, just spent a week down at OC, NJ with the family. What confusion!!!
Neat garage find, but you knew it was there, so not so much of a find, but still cool. that was our family car back in the day, only a '56

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
thanks everyone for your kind comments. I need a break from the trucks for a few so this will be a positive distraction. I had Bob the former owner over yesterday, he wanted to look through the glove box and spare tire compartment. He found a tool bag in the spare tire well and said his Mom made the tool bag and he wanted to keep it ( he is 86). I invited him to come an participate in breathing life back into the wagon. He agreed and before I took him back home we greased the hood hinges and put a battery in. Wouldn’t you know it head lights signals stops backup lights horn all worked......amazing.... on another note I joined the trifivechevys.com forum.....you have no idea how great this forum is compared to others its not as user friendly so far and just want to say thank you to this forums community and moderators
thank You Jess

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
That wagon is a time capsule, I'd wash it and call it good, after a safety item check. White wall snow tires are cool. Good luck with it and keep us posted on progress

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
What HE SAID ^^^X2! Thats what I would do also, keep the time capsule just that, only new rubber parts and saftey items upgrades. What are the guys saying on the tri 5 forum about the rarity of the find?

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
Nice work Jesse, are you going to pull the carb apart, and replace fuel lines. That sending unit was looking well past its working life.
What engine does it have in it?

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
I think it's safe to say you have made Bob PROUD to have sold his baby to you! What a noble gesture... I've got warm fuzzies right now
