Wow and welcome. Surprise for most of us here. Mr. Stevenson must be putting in some nice extras in his new house!

Congrats. Man they are such nice looking cars! Wish we got more than the pov pack versions! Even big block engines would have been good. Now there's an idea....make it a 396.....

hmmm is your firechicken and your G8 canadian ponchos?

Congrats

I've been wanting to add to this all day, but it was wild at work today, pretty much not a minute for myself, then out all evening to a funeral, errands, cleaning up at our new home construction site, etc. Finally home after midnight.

And thus the reason for selling my car...

My life situation has changed I'm afraid. It has a lot to do with my wife's health, and our plans to downsize (sold our 35 acre parcel and building a new house in town) so that we can deal with a muscular disease that she has. I simply do not have time for a project car, I need a driver and that is a fact of life for me. I am NOT out of this hobby by any stretch, and certainly not giving up on CP. On the contrary, you will likely see even MORE of me because once we move, I won't have much else to do except be around the house doing whatever she needs me to do. And I will have a driver, an old car that I can just hop in and go for a tour with when time permits.

And now, I have to say, this deal with Tom has likely been one of the most fun deals I've ever had involving an old car. Tom is one of the most patient guys I've ever met, I think he waited more than 5 months for me to get off the fence about selling the GP. He is certainly one of the most straight up guys I've ever dealt with, and most enthusiastic too. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with him, and even more fun meeting him, as brief as our time together was on the evening he came for the car. It was not easy parting with that car after the hours I put into it but he made it as painless as possible with his patience and zeal.

I really do look forward to seeing that car finished and on the road.

Way to go Tom. Nice car. Now you and Ken can go head to head on who has the most options. Lol

 To catch Ken, all I need is A/C, a big block, and cruise control .

Good stuff!

Carl must have gave you a good discount on the selling price for you to say all those great things about him! (kidding, kidding)

Carl, Carl, Carl..... One little slip up I made ( For those who don't know, Carl should have received a spare time with his white Grande that I sold him, but he didn't) and he won't let me forget!

Hahaha, is that what they call a Freudian slip?

I certainly meant to say spare tire but you are right, not much spare time to give away right now!

Sounds like the "classic" Parisienne will be just as loved and nurtured in the Allen household as it was it the Stevenson household.<

Yeah, those "Classic" emblems didn't survive while that car was here! I'm not certain where they ended up but I'm pretty sure it was the garbage can.
