‘A’ Family Affair: 67 Dart and 68 Valiant restorations
I had talked to the seller and even did a video call. It was an estate sale so car had sat in a barn next to house for 20 years (yes a real barn find). We made a plan to meet, yes! I was finally getting another Valiant. But then the next day I was texted that another family member had others buyers that were looking at it and they would get back to me! Ugh not another one lost...
So...
I got news that the other buyers weren’t interested (ha, fools) and we would meet the upcoming weekend. Then the bad September wildfires closed the roads and we had to postpone. Ok whatever, if it works out great but if not that’s ok was my feelings now. I kept in contact and made sure that we were going to meet.
We watched and as soon as the roads opened I headed down with my youngest son. The skies and ash were so bad, the pictures show the color. It was eerie.
But we got it and towed it home! What a great feeling to finally resolve this search, and on the drive home we talked about what we would do first to the car.
