He was losing his sight and I suppose that contributed to his not posting anymore.

I do have his email & tel number in my address book. PM if interested, this will make me try to contact as I have often thought about, BUT have not done!

I saw that he sold his car. And I knew about the site issue. I thought it would just be a matter of time before he moved on.

How about member 66post from Murrell's Inlet, South Carolina? I posted about him being MIA back in April. I think he too was having some health problems, and he began selling some things on here like guns, etc.

Sorry to hear about his health problems.
His Lemans was super nice.
Did anyone from this site buy his Lemans?

Sight. He was slowly losing it and they lost their home. Selling the LeMans was they're only way of having a place to live.

Oops, that's sad to hear. I know he has helped me a great deal of times with many questions I had. Hopefully he will return one day

Due to the price he was asking the car went rather quickly. And where they moved to I've no idea. They might not even be living anywhere near Myrtle Beach these days.

I just got through looking up Joe on the internet and did get a number for his Dad. He wouldn't give out Joe & Tammy's number, but will have him call me tomorrow. I put this off for too long!

I'll let you guys know what I find out.

I was under the impression that he had moved to Florida when he had his Lemans.

Yeah, he was around Kissimmee/Old Town. Best that I can remember he had gotten a GP just before he dropped out.

I think he (the original guy asked about) lived more toward Sanford area?

I think his wife may have had the GP?

I also think he has a 2013 Challenger now also?

I think he also had problems with his back from a wreck he had years ago in his Firebird?

Haven't seen him for quite some time either.

Spoke with Joe today. Had a nice long chat, they are doing OK, but the doesn't own any Pontiac's right now.

Asked him to come back here and fill you guys in about where his car wound up, I will send him the link. He was very touched that you all worried about him and his family.

I look forward to hearing from him. He helped me out with a few parts during my restoration.
