Trulyvintage Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Back in 1974 - Bob sold his beloved 1968 Plymouth Satellite Convertible. A factory four speed convertible with a 383. He figured he would never see it again. Many years later - it surfaced in the same area. Some friends found it one day on a drive. Still owned by the family that he sold it to. After a few years - Bob was able to buy it back. I picked it up today. I took some videos & pictures. In a few days - Bob will be reunited with a car he never thought he would own again. A Great Christmas Story .... Jim Edited December 25, 2020 by Trulyvintage (see edit history) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I'm sure glad your car had a nice, happy ending; unlike this one: 🙁 My old Buick has been found after 4 decades - General Discussion - Antique Automobile Club of America - Discussion Forums (aaca.org) Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 That is pretty cool. They need to go find those Cragars and toss the baby moons in the trash as soon as possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trulyvintage Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 So I stepped up my schedule after the pick up - thought it would be nice to deliver this on Christmas Eve. Jim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trulyvintage Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) I found a wreath to put in the truck. I arrived to a houseful of relatives on Christmas Eve in Nuevo, California. Everyone was anxious to get the car out of the trailer for Bob. There was picture & video taking when the back doors opened. The family chipped in to help unload. The tires all needed to be aired up.
