Visit a friend, who's place you've never been to.

Hear his stories of riding in his fathers car when he was a kid...

Hear him tell of how this car 'will just rot into the ground well past my life'

Express a keen interest and make my opinion that she needs to run again known...

And upon trade of any unknown item to trade... it's offered up.

Would be great to see it on the road, he said.
Perhaps next spring, I'll bring a good B20 and a M41 and some bits and we'll drive 'er out of there. I'm figuring the patina is perfect as is. No plans for paint. Most of the goodies are there.. the wheel, the tach (what's left of it), all the badging, the chrome reclining seats. The original engine/transmission may or may not be about.. but for starters, just a good drivetrain, fix presumably dead brakes, clear rats and mice out of wiring, some tires and a good once over... and we're done.

There will be further posts on this car. Only thing that separates us is about 400 miles.

Piece of cake :)
