The gtx never let's me take good pictures of it. Today it was nice to me. Sorry to hear about your "ritz". I hate wrecked car stories. They make me cry avatars.

It wasn't good on gas but I didn't care at the time. It was coooooool!
I have grown to appreciate my turbo diesel VW Golf since then. I was involved with the restoration of a Hemi GTX convertible when I was 15. I have no idea who owned it or where it is now but it was the same coulour as the car in your pic. I worked at a bodyshop after school at the time. |

He bought "christine" from george barris. The real christine from the movie. The 58 fury that fixes itself. Wanna see?
|
|
|
|
Sure!
|
|
|
|
Always curious. So doc and I got out the tape measure. 16 feet, 10 inches. F ers a boat like your ritz.

Let me know when you've read the rap sheet.

I read it.
Have you ever met Gene Winfield? I talked to him on the phone when I was in Vegas in '01 and then met him two years later here in Edmomton at a car show. Really nice guy. |
|
|
|
He has all the documentation to go with it and a pickup truck load of stuff from the movie. We sat down and looked through the stuff. It was fun.
|
|
|
|
Does gene have a collection too? That name sounds familiar.
|
|
|
|
He does. He was moving when i talked to him so I didn't go there to see what he had. You might remeber a car called the "Jade Idol". He's also into '41 to '48 Fords.

Ok. My buddy brian builds rods. Brian and I swap stuff. Brian gave me a rare minibike a week ago. I stopped at docs to let him know I got it and I have no more room and see if I could leave it in his museum if need be.

Eeezzz very cold outside. Still at work. Dump in morning. Then to bank. Then find out what my freinds are doing. Supposed to go look at some motorcycles. And I'm supposed to go flying today.
|

I heard it is very cold there! Already, hard to believe isn't it. One of the many, many reasons I no longer live up there.
You're day sounds more fun than mine, wanna trade? |
|
|
|
Whaddya got to trade? One of my freinds plans to bring his 8 year old, his 2 year old and his 6 month old. It won't all be peaches and cream.
|
|
|
|
Oh, oops, sorry, did I say trade? One 12 year old is enough for me most of the time
Nah, just kidding, I love kids. But my day consists of getting a pedicure, taking my son to trade in some of his video games, and going grocery shopping. Fun stuff! |
