Last summer made an offer on a dream car of mine, offer rejected because they received a higher offer. So I just forgot about it because I set my price and that was that. Then last week had a dream I was driving a yellow 1966 T-Bird convertible. Strange but true...next day dealership called me and said the yellow Bird was back on the market because deal fell through. Dealership said owner might consider my previous offer from last July. After many emails and phone conversations last week, deal agreed. Of course I am paying about $1000 more than I wanted, still made a good purchase and my dream became a reality today when I sent full payment and sale contract documents. The yellow Bird will be shipped to me and hopefully arrive before first snowfall so I can put it in winter storage (LOL). Now have to sell my beloved 1998 Riviera fast as I only have two underground parking spaces. Hate selling the Riviera but I only have two parking spaces and three cars.
The 1966 Thunderbird will bring back memories because at age 15 talked my Dad into buying a new 1966 Bird when he wanted a new 1966 Mustang.
I must be crazy spending big bucks on an auto I will only drive summer months. Yes, scared that I have much to learn about taking care of the Bird as I am not a gear head. But looking foreword to the challenge. Do not hate me because I am brand confused, keeping my Camaro and adding a Ford, and selling the Riviera.
Here is a video of my new but very old yellow 1966 T-Bird convertible that hopefully will be delivered in the next 4 weeks:
