Mopar Gods forgiveness

That’s very absolutely true. The day we surprised him with it he couldn’t believe it… he didn’t cry or anything but he had a moment or peace and resolution I think… he and his mom and his dad and his childhood and now my family and I are all connected by the car and her story. So we stood back and let him just take it all in. What you see in the picture is him placing his hands on the car and saying a “hello, old friend” in a manner of sorts. His dad once asked him “what is so special about this car? Why are you doing all of this stuff to it?” And my dad’s response “it’s not the car, it’s who I am through the car” and man, those are some heavy words.
Yes heavy words but meaningful words.
I have owned many cars over the many decades, and some I have had just had a super strong connection to. I can't explain why, just is.

My dads last car was a 64 Ford Ranchero. It is long gone, but at age of 76 I have a deep desire to have one, as it would be the closest thing to sitting next to him I could have.
