What did you do today not on your truck... - Page 92 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**FleetsidePaul** · 04-26-2022, 03:13 PM

I ordered a lot of money today. New toy on the way if I don't get beat out by someone else before the money gets here. Nail biting time. But I think I've got it. A little hint. It's a car. Like I need another one.

We shall see.

Not a Camaro. Although I wish it was. But this was mama's choice. Not my first choice, but we all know how that goes.

Here's a hint. I already have one but mine is 60+ years newer.

You bought her a Packard didn't you?

No. A Packard wouldn't be her first choice. Believe it on not she's never been too excited about my Packard.

You choose your battles wisely. It's just not worth fighting over buying an early T-bird.

Duh. Now I feel stoopid.

Paul I think you are going to have to hire someone to keep all the batteries charged. Lol

Tell me about it.

Today I got kicked out of my house. Well, I didn't really get kicked out. Edison is rebuilding the lines. Everyone's power was shut off in the whole neighborhood. It's supposed to last all day. This is the third time. I hope it's the last. Probably not.

I could have fired up my generator but it was easier to just go over to my other house. Everything works great here.

Power outages are really boring.

I vote for the former lawn guy who throws his tools and screams at the tree. I think he'd do a great job

That guy cracked me up. It was just too funny to see him blow his cork in the yard. And then the tools started flying.

So an old Vette? You're balancing out the classic side of the collection.

Unfortunately not. But it is a two seater.

**special-K** · 04-28-2022, 09:21 AM

60+ years older? A '40s Ford truck?

**Ol Blue K20** · 04-28-2022, 10:00 AM

T bird or a jeep.....

Bingo. Not a Jeep. My wife never even drove my CJ5, not once. It's a 1955 Thunderbird. My neighbor has owned it for 40 years. Always garaged. He's very meticulous about his cars. He has an 8 car garage full of classics. But he's getting up in years and starting to sell things. I heard about it through word of mouth and called him. He's not the easiest guy to get ahold of. He has no answering machine or anything. But he's a really nice guy. He just doesn't live there and doesn't always pick up the phone.

I had to wait on the money so now it's just a matter of time to arrange to meet. I like to show up with cash. I've only seen the back of it once when the garage door was open and it looked as good as my friend said it was. I have no doubt that it will be as nice as I think. My wife wants to go Saturday. I just have to get this guy to answer his phone.

It's white with turquois upholstery. Kind of like this one.

**Ol Blue K20** · 04-28-2022, 11:38 AM

Ha! This will be a lot shorter than the safe thread!

Let's hope so.

I'm just worried that he might be getting cold feet. He's had it for 40 years. I know how hard it can be to sell something. Which is why I never sell anything. I don't know if he actually expected someone to show up with the money.

Oh well. Time will tell. My wife will be disappointed if he backs out. But I'm not crazy about the car. I'd rather have a Z28.

**FleetsidePaul** · 05-01-2022, 08:33 PM

I got a Thing.

New motor and trans. But no beauty queen. It could use a little sprucing up. But no rust at all. Really in good shape. I like the weird cars.
