from California with my daughter who was 3 years old and screaming and crying that it was sold the last time she saw it.

 

Great farther daughter pics. When you are older those pictures will really mean a lot, car was good too. What was smokey up to?

 

Thanks! Ed owns the 66 wagon and works for chp so we did a photo op

 

Glad you took the time to spend with her Richard. Yes, many of us remember your car. Its kinda cool to see the convertible parked next to a 1966 wagon.

 

Wow, I can't believe how much time has passed since you built that car. It was on my favorite go to thread list at the time. Your daughter has sure grown up nicely! Great trip and good memories to last a lifetime. How's the future looking for your 88 project?

 

Cool...kids first! Everything else 2nd...

 

Tell me you’re bringing the red car back to Texas!

 

I knew you had tried to buy the car back and based on your post I am assuming you did. That is great. What a great trip for you and your daughter. You are such a great family man Richard. Those are memories you both will cherish forever. Glad the car is coming back.

 

I followed your post on FB, again congrats on getting it back. Did it get painted while its been gone? Any improvements over what you had already done?

 

Yes it was thanks

 

It's crazy 9 years since I sold it
Im I west TX as I type 7 hours from home. Ran into a bad thunderstorm so I'm hunkered down for the night

It's been a blast

Time capsule of when I sold it only change he made was put an HEI on it it didn't have before I put almost as many miles on it today as he did the nine years he owned it.
Got a little warm in Arizona today when we got stuck in traffic for road construction for 45 minutes I'm going to have to convert it to a electric fan as soon as I get a chance

 

That car is beautiful. Probably best Olds ever made ( my favourite). Congrats!

 

Congrats on the recovery.

 

SO GLAD TO SEE THAT BEAUTIFUL OLDS COMING HOME!! SPECTACULAR AUTOMOBILE! Been way too long since we've seen you. Does your beautiful daughter still know how to operate them motor lift??

 

Hey Richard, Ill be in touch and come see it...

 

annnnd home! Worn out but made it in one piece.

This is that akward moment when the shop meets the car that was sacrificed for its very exhistance.

 

Congrats Richard!

 

The other car is going to be upset being pushed farther back on the back burner.

 

Car: Hi shop - You owe me big time...

Shop: Yup, c'mon in and make yourself at home. Don't mind the mess.

Car: No worries, I'm home again and ready for some pampering and loving.

 

Some day my kids will be grown up and I will build it.

 

Thank you

 

More like what you are doing here? We don't have any room...Go away LOL

 

Shhhh Its hibernating under the car cover next to it. What it doesn't know won't hurt it.
