Around 15 years ago this car showed up at the Portland Swap Meet. I believe the asking price was $12,000. And if my memory isn't completely failed it had a 383 SBC in it. I'm sure on the Chevy part not so sure on the 383 part. Anyway on Sunday afternoon I started negotiating with the owner. He hadn't had much interest in the car and I asked if he would sell it without the engine. He was up for that as he had another project that it could go right into but, he had to ask his wife. The money part was her interest. After about 45 minutes we had a deal. Then this very drunk guy stumbled up and demanded to know the price. The owner pointed at the sign on the windshield. The drunk swayed around to the car while the owner and I talked over the details. Then the drunk came up and grabbed the owner and said he would buy the car. The owner looked at me, then at his wife nodding her head, and said "Sorry, she wants the money and hates the car. The last time I saw the car, before I stumbled on these photos, was watching the drunk was trying to drive it out of the swap meet 2 hours later. My buddy and I figured it would be wrecked before it got to its new home.
I believe the drunk guy was from Eugene or Medford or some place in that general area.
