Here's an update on the YG8 Highlander I bought a while back (post #908). I was filling my Sportster up with gas when I noticed a two tone early 70s Chevy truck sitting in the yard of the house next door. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the blue plaid seat and realized what it was. 25K miles, last licensed in 1995, sinking into the yard. The lady who owned it said it had belonged to her husband who died in 1979. After that her father drove it periodically until he died and after that it sat. After a few conversations with her, I was able to purchase it in January of 2017. After a good scrubbing, I went through all of the mechanicals and got it going. Currently use it as a driver.

Oh by the way, when I was talking to the lady who owned truck she casually said to me, "I've also got a 68 Impala, a 67 Oldsmobile, a 68 Oldsmobile Delta 98 two door, and a 1957 Chevy Bel Air (black with red interior) that I bought new when I was nineteen". I about fell over.


A couple of "as found" pics and how it looks now along with SPID.
