I was driving down to Matt's house (ZoomZoom) to get my new BP that was completely rebuilt from the ground up. New everything with enough headwork to clean everything up plain and simple. Thanks Matt.
Anyway, on the way there, about 10 minutes from my house I saw a Festiva sitting in a driveway. When I got closer I saw a little old lady. I said to myself. WTF, what have I got to lose, so I turned around and went back. She just got done mowing her grass which is why she pulled it out of the garage (the mower was blocked-in). I introduced myself and we talked for about 25 minutes or so. She is widowed and about 80yrs old or so (guessing). I told her I collected Festivas and was very interested in buying hers. She said she wasn't going to sell it until she past-on, then her sons would sell it. They have no interest in the car. But lately said she has been thinking of selling it but wants it to go to a good home. I told her of my plans for it if I were to get it and she was very impressed. She is going to talk it over with her sons and let me know. Said it has never been out of our local town. She has her Buick for longer drives. It has never seen snow and she usually puts it outside when it rains to clean it off. Said it has never seen a car wash. There is ZERO RUST and one tiny little door ding on the pass door.
It's a 93 GL Sport. No a/c no p/s. But it is an auto. Perfect for my BP. Paint is super dull but would clean up just as nicely as Paul's Cremepuff !!! She told me to have a look at and see what I thought. I about crapped. And to think it's only a few minutes from my house. lol I'll check back with her in about 3 weeks or so. Fingers crossed !!! I'll take some cash when I go for sure.
