The car that I can not buy
#1
My grandpa sold his 'R' code 1970 mach 1 about two years ago to one of my dad's friends. Needless to say I see it about once every year since then just sitting in the gentleman's garage. He has however spent about 15k on new parts for it and is planning on doing a full body job on it. I have tried several times in the past two years to buy it from him, but with no luck. I honestly can say I feel like I will never have a better chance at one of these cars. I used to play in this car galore when I was younger and loved it from the moment I saw it. The plan is to one day own a 70 mach, but for now I will just be happy with the 73 I acquired not too long ago. The car gods must not be happy with me. Probably one good reason is I helped work on a buddy's 94 camaro all last summer. Oh well, I will never let my grandpa forget about that car. I told him if he sells his 64 GTO before I get a chance to buy it he will probably fall from his stairs....just saying :)
