<x-charset iso-8859-1>I say three cheers for Mr. Tsontakis. People like him make the world a better place. I'd buy him a cool one if I were anywhere near him. Thomas E.

Guess what?!!! I am the new owner of a 63 notch that this gentleman below gave to me! WOOHOOO!!! The only thing I paid for it was the gas and a couple meals that got me there. Very sweet huh? I am so very excited!!!! I still cannot believe that I have a Notch sitting at home just for me:). Just when I was thinking about all you guys at Parma cruizin your 'backs and the rest of us lamo's (no offense to anyone) at home sitting around working, I saw this post. I about freaked. My wife and I have been toiling with the idea of getting another car because of how little rust and body damage the Fasty has and that I don't want to add any more rust and/or body damage to it and that I don't want to drive it through another winter, ever. Bonnie said if we could find something that was super cheap then we would "consider* it. Well about 2 or 3 days later I see this post by George here. And I knew I had to have it. Mainly because Aspen is only about 2.5 hours away and its a friggin Notch. So I had to get it. Sorry all you guys who may have had a chance to get it, one of those first come first serve things you know? Anyway I fell in love the moment I saw it just like it happens with all of us. I was able to borrow a dolly at last minute from a new friend of mine and surprisingly we had almost no trouble. The adjustment straps that are to be in line with the wheels were mounted by Allen bolts that was standard size (of course) and I didn't have so im provisions had to be inflicted. The bolt size was 9mm. Who uses a friggin 9mm? or whatever the standard conversion is. But I still was able to get through this and get it home. It towed beautifully. Just looking in the rear-view mirror and seeing a 40 year old Notch riding behind us. What a feeling. Well I am in a new world guys and I will be asking all of you Notchsters about everything I am sure. Its 6 volt and single carbed. So thank you Mr. Tsontakis for a wonderful gift and I surely fulfill your request by giving it a great home. Also it will be returned to service once I have the cash to get it properly maintenenced. I cannot tell you enough how much I love this car! My son Joseph who is 17 months old already likes it too. He says "Dada car, vrroomm vrrooom." Which means- it is now part of our family and I love it daddy. --- TSONTAKIS George <02SGT@AmericanAcademy.DE> wrote: > I've owned a red 1963 Notchback for 20 years.
