This time I've got witnesses!  So  Byte me!!  ggggg

A Father / Son came to our Coyote meeting..looking for someone to follow them 
home afterwards.....FREE   drive it away....LM!    Even at 55, I wasn't fast 
enough to speak up!

Matt.....$35  for my 1st 65 Monza......drove it home after fixing a broken 
snout in the guys driveway.....EPOXIED!!      lasted over 60k miles!  

 With some added wheels, etc.,   traded straight!  for a 1973Courier 
PU...with 225 v6 Buick / Turbo 400 trans [ blown headgaskets / loose timing chain / 
burnt piston....]

65 Corsa 140 / 4 /4.11's [ broken cylinder / loose seat /     traded a VW  
Baja TransVair...I had a little over $600 in...Kid and I were tired of it after 
2 yrs.......He gave me $1800  and the Corsa!!  ??????  Does that count??

And then....The EUM.....GIVEN to me....all I had to do is deliver parts on my 
way to CB!   Put a battery in  and some gas....Drove it around the block!   
Still have the 140 out of it [ fresh rebuild in 1979 / 0 miles]   Cost me $200 
to "give it to MR.  K....

PRICELESS??   for everything else there's MasterCard???
