Hello all,
I have been lurking around here for quite a while and have what I think is a unique roadster story. My older brother got a 67.5 spl-311 from one of my Dad's friends. He drove it into the ground. When I was 14 I started a restoration. I finished it just after my 16th birthday, more than two decades ago, and drove it as my only car for about ten years. I went to sell it and the original owner, my Dad's friend, bought it for his daughter. Fast forward almost twenty years and Dad's friend calls me up. He sold me back the roadster. There have only been three names on the Title. Original owner, my Dad, original owner, and me.
How many people get the first car they owned back! I have also owned two 68 spl-311's and 70 spl-311 back in the seventies. Wish I still had all those parts!
By the way, my first car is mostly stock and still runs out great! Needs brakes though...
