My chance on a 63 lightweight |
By David Thayer - 04/02/2002 9:23:28 PM; IP 205.188.199.56 |
It was 1979, a guy here locally named John Handy had a little car lot down the street from where I worked. The car was an absolutley pristtine 63 White/Red 427 Lightweight, everything there, everything stock, had about 7500 miles on it. He was asking $4500. I went to one of our local banks, F&M bank and trust and tried to get a loan. The loan officer, Tom Sumner told me I was nuts wanting to borrow $4500 for a 63 Galaxie. He said he would be glad to loan me money for a NEW car but $4500 for this thing!! When I told him more about it, he said it sounded like something that had been all chopped up and that I should be glad I came to him as he could keep me from being 'Suckered" in by this used car salesman. I didn't get the car! |
