she's a little slut isn't she. Hey don't feel bad, the other guys didn't know what they had.

I think I'm the 3rd or 4th owner, but one of them doesn't count because he just took the car as payment from a tenant who's business was going bankrupt, so he took the car as back payment for rent and sold it right away too me. Is there a way to tell where your car was originally delivered?

I took over as the 5th at 235K. From what I can tell, the car was a cherry until about 115K when the 4th got it. Let's just say he got his money's worth although he spent nearly 20K on it in that period. He's on this bbs (or was), so I can't be unkind. But, there's no reason to because I knew what I was buying and paid accordingly.

Mine still has the original Bill of Sale and the original window sticker, otherwise, I wouldn't know how to tell where it was delivered.

Something like that. Looking at my papers now...dates are earliest papers from person...peopel in Bolnd I have spoke to.


I have a Peter N starting in 1992 (possibly original owner)
a Thomas B in 1992
a Rudy P in starting in 1994 -1995
Then it goes to a Pete Murphy Wall Beds - I called them, but don't remember who they said it was...but it wasn't the person below...
In 1996, it went to a Rod F in Victoria..
and then to a Tom R in 1997..

It made it's way here possibly in 1998 to a James E...
And my PO, Mike K, bought it from him,

so,..
Peter
Tom
Rudy
Pete Murphy Wall Beds
Rod
Tom #2
James E
Mike K

I'm the 3rd owner.

First owner had it 4 years.
Second owner had it 12 years.
I've had it 5 years.

I'm hoping to keep it forever.
