I'm sure I've told this story here but: several years ago a friend from Florida called me and asked if I'd go look at a car with him in Houston. I said sure, what is it? He said he'd tell me when we got there.

If I recall correctly, it was a 1965 356SC coupe without a motor. It was a co-worker's late father's car. The father had pulled the engine and sent it to Dallas for a rebuild. The father had been dead at least 20 years at the time I saw the car. The car was silver with red interior. It was straight, clean, with very little rust and the leather was in good shape. The only thing I could find wrong besides the missing motor was some frunk hood hinge damage which I guess is pretty common.

My friend said one coworker mentioned the car and that he'd like to sell it. Another coworker said he'd buy it and the price was set at $8K. When I saw the car I asked my friend to offer the buyer $10K for it so he'd make $2K and not even have to take possession of it, the buyer said no. I should have said $12K. I'll ask what ever happened to it. Maybe he's on Pelican.
