    Full Circle

    Here is the quick version of the story, I'll write up the full version later.
    Back in 2015 I found a very cool 69E in a barn, seriously, in a barn. It was parked in 73 by the original owner.
    I bought the car, sold the car, regretted selling it, but that's life.
    Fast forward to this year, now restored it goes to auction and sells. The new owner gets cold feet, reaches out to me thinking I might have an interest in the car, I don't, but I know a guy who does. The car was re-united today with the original owner! The first time he saw the car he was picking it up from the Factory, on a Saturday, then he saw it again today. Thanks to Chuck at Redline for making it happen.
    Full circle.

    Now, that’s a good story......
