    I miss the car, but have no regrets - I definitely came out ahead with my wife! (grin)

    I sold a Saleen Mustang convertible to pay for our wedding. Gave her a choice of two weeks in Hawaii or a wedding with all the trimmings. She chose the wedding. Rented a whole municipal park on Crooked Lake, all the cabins, all the camp sites and the hall. Had it all to ourselves. Only invited people that had been to our house. no wedding cake, but 10 different kinds of pie. Great Jazz band. Lots of LaBatts. Best wedding ever!

    Still miss that Mustang once in a while though.......

    I have never, never, NEVER heard anything remotely like that story.

    How's it feel to be the unchallenged winner of The Most Devoted Groom Ever award?
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    Hey, Mike sold a Lotus! It was just a car, easy come easy go. My wife on the other hand is my third attempt, and we have been happy for 17 years. Worth a thousand Saleens.

    The car is a 1967 Volvo 122S.

    Nice Volvo Amazon, looks and sounds like you're enjoying it. Some really nice modifications you've done. What year?

    :Mike,

    If that was a '46, maybe someone changed out the front fenders. Looks like '48 fenders, the '46 had the park lites inboard of the headlights. I had one about 10 years ago.

    Of course I am old and forgetful.

    Don't know. I bought it in the '60's and it was titled as a '46. Could have been in an accident and had the front end changed. No way for me to know.

    It would be fun to drive one of those at my age(61) and feel like a kid again,there's so much character,so much class in these older cars.
