Thread: Talk about lucky

Started 1 year, 4 months ago by RUSTYNAIL
I have to share the story of the last 48 hrs of my life. Wednesday night about midnight I was browsing the autotrader.com and ran across a new listing for a TTA with no details only a vin number and 6K miles for $14995. Needless to say I didn't sleep very well that night. I called the dealer first thing in the AM and spoke to the owner, he said the car was in transport from California and would...

I'm jealous, a rare story indeed! If you want to make a few thousand, call me. Congratulations! Your story lifted my spirits, this really is the land of opportunity. Vigilance paid off. I wouldn't buy any more lottery tickets though, you used up a life time's providence on this deal The military taught me that "Luck" is what happens when preparation meets ...

That is a Barrett-Jackson car for sure. I mean that this car's provenance would be fabulous there....Leave the paint the way it is. Dealer bankrupcy and never being titled is the story that would sell in that environment. Any owner's kit? Way to go!

I have a purple 92 convertible. Don't see may of them around at all. Scott
