Not an A body but thought you guys would appreciate this...
Long story but I'll try to keep it short... when I was a kid, my Papa (grandpa) owned a '65 Fargo. Everyone in the family has a close memory of him and that truck, and he sadly sold it. It was the one truck we would all say, "Too bad he sold it.."
I saw it in a private collection when I was about 19, doing a service call at a guy's house. He was super rude and didn't want me to look at it, even though I said, "Hey that's my grandpa's old truck!!" I hadn't seen the truck since but I was always keeping my eye out for it.
Fast forward to about a week ago, I'm driving through Qualicum and I see down a side road, the old Fargo parked there... I pull around and stop at the truck. A girl comes out and says it's her boyfriend's truck, and that he's actually thinking of selling. I leave my number, and get a text from the boyfriend. I mention that it was my Papa's, and it's very sentimental, that I would love to get it back in the family if possible. He says absolutely, and we came to a deal.
Yesterday I drove it home, SUPER excited to have it!!!
It's a '65 Fargo 100, 313 Poly, 727 auto with dash mounted shifter, 3.55 rear gears, and power steering! (rare in a Sweptline).
It was painted about 25 years ago, but still has the original seat, original rubber floor, etc.
