Hey Guys,
Sorry I missed the Picnic, I was planning on going, but I purchased an old motorhome that I had to pickup that I am working on restoring.
That purchase forces me to sell the Bullitt or the 72 GMC short bed pick up I restored and have owned for 30 years. After a lot of soul searching and talking with my son we decided to sell the 72GMC. The GMC was his first vehicle he drove to high school when it was a six cylinder three speed that would not go over 65 mph. Perfect first vehicle from a Father's viewpoint. It is now a 383 roller cam six speed and buries the 100 mph speedometer in 4th gear and it does not take to long to get there. I don't know what the top speed of it is, I just know I don't want to be the person that finds out.The great thing about it is that you can cruise around in it like a little six cylinder with the smooth roller cam engine, or it well move out if you so desire.
The Bullitt my son had purchase in 2001 with 800 miles on it. He drove it a while then sold it to us real cheap at the time with 15,000 miles on it. We love
the Bullitt and the GMC, but the Bullitt is the vehicle I am eventually going to pass back to him.
If you know of a good home for the GMC, let me know. I have probably over 35K in it and plan on quick sale at 22K. Drive train has 13,000 miles on it. The speedometer was reset when we did it. The paint body done about 12 years ago. I get compliments when ever I take it out. I will probably put it in the Classic auto trader later this month or right after the new year.
The get together in Santa Barbara sounds like fun. I called today and left a message for Wigwam motel to make reservations for the 21st. I sure I will hear back from them later today.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Casey
