Wow! Look what I missed.
Congratz Mike. Victoria is absolutely beautiful. It's hard to add anything to everything thats already been said. I'm just thinking of one word: Enjoy!

One of the coolest things about the car now is the story attached to it. It should make for great conversation for years to come. I`m honored to have been a part of it.

Mike,
After following your saga on that "other" Val, and all that you went through to complete the transaction, I was angry that you did not get it.
Why angry? Because regardless of the times we felt taking the law into our own hands and rightfully retrieving "your" car was the way to go, you resisted and believed in the justice system to do the right thing. You did all that was right, attended when requested, filled out all the proper papers and had not only the blessing but the help of the registered owner. You put your faith in the system, and like most here, assumed that in the end, it would all be well. We all believed that the story would have the fairy-tale ending it was destined to.
Of course, it was not to be. Once again, the justice system let down the victim, and protected the accused. And even though I am not American, here in Canada it is no different.
When you wrote the final chapter, we could all sense the despair and finality of the saga. The "little guy" (me included in this group) got dumped on. Again.
To be able to contribute in a small way to change this outcome, has made me feel that us "little guys" aren't so little after all.

I would like to say congrats to Mike and Treva on your new car. I would also like to thank you. It was because of you that we were able to set everything aside and come together for a common cause. I know I for one feel great about what i have put into this. I may not have put as much time or money into this as so many others have but it was all worth it.
Now I can't wait to get home and see all the pics, WebSince at work keeps pics blocked. So post tons of pics from every angle for all to see.
I would also like to say congrats to the rest of FABO for making this one great week.

Yep!! I did Sid!!:bootysha: I went to our NAPA store and picked up brake pads for Treva's ride for the trip up Petit Jean Mt., and there was 4 to five people outside looking over her.
Leanna From PPC called when I was in town looking for boxes for Treva to send Robs pool cue he won the winning bid on to send out to him.
Leanna really made my day hearing here sweet voice and she is pumped up and
congrad's me. She is ready for some more business.
Damned gas prices are hurting everyone.
Know I am going to park Treva's car under a shad tree and put new pads on all around disc brakes,
:toothy10: Easy job for me under a tree.:cheers:

Excellent. I've been away and just got back, glad to hear the car is where it belongs.
I guess I missed something though, how did the car come to be called Victoria?

Mike, I am so impressed with the quality of members we have here on FABO. Like all the others, I have never seen such a pouring of generosity from a forum. I know without a doubt that it was for for a great cause. I only wish I could have been a part of it. I accidently went on vacation the last two weeks and look what happens..... I am sure you will enjoy the car since it is now priceless in your eyes. Just truly amazing!!!

....65s. I'll see Mike this weekend at the mountain and inform him that inquiring minds want to know how he arrived at a name for Victoria. That will give him time to dream up a story. He and Treva are doing a getaway.

Called The High Chapteral, There son blue boy and uncle buck and Ben the father, the boss of the house was Victoria! The mother of blue boy and Bens wife. She looked like my mother and was strong and determined lady like my mother,RIP mom.
Some one here came up with Vicki!! Short for Victoria, I like it!who ever it was that used it.
I neglected this thread so I finished reading it and I am in tears just reading it.
I am on my way to recovery, Take better care of myself and quit smoking!!
and just a few cold ones with friends.
I have ins and drive my very first 66 car I have ever owned at least every day
It feels like a limo ride and don't have a squeak of any kind and when I come to a stop I can not here the car hardly running.
A few friends came buy and they are at a loss of words.
She is a great pleasure to drive.
When the 81/4 rear end and ignition and offy intake and new 390 holley
go's on, Victoria will be a sleeper and driver.
But for know I will be driving and showing the sweet girl.
Thank you all for getting my life a big jump start.
Sorry for taking so long to get back to this great thread.
To answer the ? have I washed and waxed vicki yet!! Yes but know wax yet.
I came to this thread to give thanks in my life that my friends here have gave me.:love7:
After 1 1/4 years of driving her and up dating the things over the last 8 months I wanted to do and enjoy the transformation and keep the little 170/ in her.

I didn't come along til after you already had Victoria but you are really doing right by her, she will run forever with well thought-out changes you have made.
I can relate to your feelings of gratitude for the good members on this site, they have added to my quality of life too and helped me get Goldie much farther along than I could by myself.
Wasn't the matriarch on 'THE BIG VALLEY' old TV western series Victoria...Barkley I think? She was tough too. Loved that show.
