Sit down everyone.... it's gonna be a long one...., Hi everyone... you may all know me... I pop in every once in a while to talk about my '73 Squareback, aka broken back, aka out of commission back... you know the one.... well... still trying to get that one running... but that's another story.... a few months ago a post was sent to the list about a '69 Fastback for sell...in Sacramento CA (where I live) well... I had just bought the square... so wasn't interested.. but did message back asking about local clubs... response was "don't know of any"... for some reason I kept that email... and a few weeks ago was tryŽ-lean out the mailbox.... found that post... and well.. kinda got interested.... to make a long story..... well it's still long... but.... went to see it this las saturday...... emmaculate!.... 109k original miles.... and that 30 year old engine still runs strong... had the heads rebuilt.... no body damage aside from a scrape on the pass rear.... original paint in great shape considering... orginal interior in great shape too.... the PO even found copies of the local newspaper from 1969 in the trunk... everything works... looks like all chrome has been rechromed...needs new window rubber... FI was rebuilt.... pop outs... anyway.... I drove it off for *WAY* cheap.... and I'm the fourth owner of this beautiful car.... I don't know what to say.... only you... bretheren of the list... can know my joy.... whew... thanks for the ear.... have any of you been nervous to drive your babies?.... this one's gonna stay bone stock.... it just looks too beautiful that way...!
