jdthiessen Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm new to this forum, so I apologize if it is against the rules to post "want to buy" threads. Here is the short version: When I was 14, my dad had a Red 78 KC with a totally blown motor (a 1900 cc I think) and then he had parked a 1972 210 or 510 or something with a good motor and bad body, but after several years, it needed some attention, so my first vehicle was the 78 truck and I had to take the 1600cc or whatever it was out of that 72, rebuild it (his way of teaching me how to work on and appreciate cars) and put it back in the 78 truck. I did all this and then about 9 months later the engine siezed up when the oil pump went out and no light came on! I traded the truck for new shocks/struts for my 1979 280ZX. I am now 35, have come full circle with the realization that I am at that point in my life when I again want that "first" car I ever owned that was all mine. I am in NW Arkansas and if anyone is interested in off-loading something like this, please contact me at astrofan@cox.net. I am a very serious buyer and will fly/drive wherever I need to when I find the right one. Thanks, Jeff Thiessen Quote Link to comment
