<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 7834433, member: 99642&quot;]Just a little bit.&nbsp; I used to buy and sell classic cars. I would buy them at auctions, fix them up, then resell. My problem was that once I fixed one up, I didn&#039;t want to sell it. I still have a &#039;72 Chevy Monte Carlo in storage. It needs restoration.&nbsp; The last one I sold was a 1966 Checker Marathon Station Wagon in 2019. I had that one and drove it for about 20 yrs. I&#039;m too old to work on them anymore.</p><p>The guy who bought the Checker is a member of the Houston Art Cars Group and has already turned it around into what he calls &quot; The Phoenix &quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>I called it the &quot; Coitus Cabana &quot;. Probably my favorite was a 1976 Mercedes-Benz 280 C Coupe. I bought it at auction for $250 +TTL, then mechanically restored it and drove it for many years. Because it was a 2 door coupe, I called it my Baby Benz. I put personalized plates on it that read &quot; NTRCRS &quot;. Can you tell what that is short for?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what the Checker Wagon looks like now.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://apis.mail.yahoo.com/ws/v3/mailboxes/@.id==VjN-VMjU2MyBdwH2dPGEy4J0rOClDTjGEY9agGAZAO0yeTRMRicqQ6kgM2OFw1B_bWky4QS589m2ULn4HOf3kMCF_g/messages/@.id==ALp3Bc4qK4NwYKVCagwVwOzOGmY/content/parts/@.id==3/refresh?appid=YMailNorrin&amp;ymreqid=2138f99a-8428-a62f-1c4e-f0000a016200" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://apis.mail.yahoo.com/ws/v3/mailboxes/@.id==VjN-VMjU2MyBdwH2dPGEy4J0rOClDTjGEY9agGAZAO0yeTRMRicqQ6kgM2OFw1B_bWky4QS589m2ULn4HOf3kMCF_g/messages/@.id==ALp3Bc4qK4NwYKVCagwVwOzOGmY/content/parts/@.id==3/refresh?appid=YMailNorrin&amp;ymreqid=2138f99a-8428-a62f-1c4e-f0000a016200" rel="nofollow">05182021 Phoenix on diaplay.jpg5.3MB</a> </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://apis.mail.yahoo.com/ws/v3/mailboxes/@.id==VjN-VMjU2MyBdwH2dPGEy4J0rOClDTjGEY9agGAZAO0yeTRMRicqQ6kgM2OFw1B_bWky4QS589m2ULn4HOf3kMCF_g/messages/@.id==ALp3Bc4qK4NwYKVCagwVwOzOGmY/content/parts/@.id==6/refresh?appid=YMailNorrin&amp;ymreqid=2138f99a-8428-a62f-1c4e-f0000a016200" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://apis.mail.yahoo.com/ws/v3/mailboxes/@.id==VjN-VMjU2MyBdwH2dPGEy4J0rOClDTjGEY9agGAZAO0yeTRMRicqQ6kgM2OFw1B_bWky4QS589m2ULn4HOf3kMCF_g/messages/@.id==ALp3Bc4qK4NwYKVCagwVwOzOGmY/content/parts/@.id==6/refresh?appid=YMailNorrin&amp;ymreqid=2138f99a-8428-a62f-1c4e-f0000a016200" rel="nofollow">05152021 Phoenix #3jpg.jpg5.1MB</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
