RIP Mark Morrissey

[StephenAcworth]

Wow! I had no idea. I never met Mark but we exchanged emails several times about shared passions ... I am completely saddened by this devastating news. A pillar of our community and a strong and proud dad whose creativity was second to none ... RIP Mark and condolences to his family ...

Here in the Northeast, it feels like spring is coming. A time when we think about the Hershey/Carlisle swap meet and various drives in NY, NJ, New England and more.

I visited an old friend today, Mark's car. Of course he, and the car, have been on my mind constantly for several months.

The car was brought back to Auto Associates for some minor work and a once-over of all the mechanical work that Mark had done recently. The car is now ready for sale. I'll post some photos down below, but there are a couple of notes I want to make absolutely clear.

- I am not selling this car, should someone from this community be interested in buying the car, I will suggest you speak with Scott McPherson at Auto Associates to get the full understanding of all the work he has done in the past years. I suppose a call to Rich Goncalves at ROCS to understand the build as it matured from 20 years ago, not a bad idea.

- I'm available for a call, text, DM or email, whatever you prefer. I have no financial stake in this, I'm happy to assist Connie and Joseph, and Mark's legacy. Should you truly be interested, you will be working out the details with Connie, and likely with Scott, as the car is at his facility currently.

- In speaking with some friends, friends of Mark's and friends of mine, the overall consensus is, we would all think the best case situation is for someone to buy this car without enlisting a broker. If your intent is to flip the car to someone else, you probably aren't the right buyer, I have suggested to Connie, it doesn't make sense to put this car on BAT or PCar market, or whatever. Between the R Gruppe guys and the folks here at the Early S Registry, there should be plenty of interest from folks who want to carry the torch, continue the ethos of the build that Mark was going after, and keep this car in the public eye.

(my understanding is a set of 15" "track wheels" with brand new Hoosiers (rears are custom offset Braids to clear the flares) and a driver's seat that matches the passenger's- if that's what you want, would be included in the sale, dash times have been removed from the air for safe keeping, will be reinstalled upon delivery to new owner)

Yes, you could build something similar, you'd be spending a lot more money and it would take years, and the chances of finding all the cool - period correct touches this car has would be slim, to none.

Now, some photos.

Thanks Lewis, I’m sure Connie and Joseph appreciate your help.

Can’t think of a better and honest group of Scott and the guys at AA to handle the deal. Not a easy task.
