Sold The Green Barge - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

89AKurt · 01-29-2019, 06:20 PM

1969 was sold back to the family, a nephew contacted me via email. I got it from a friend who needed the money over 5 years ago, with the deal I would sell it back to him. Friendship later broke apart, drunks just aren't easy to get along with. Nephew said he had died last year. But I honored our agreement. I never felt like I owned it, whatever I fixed was reversible, and did not go overboard. So it's back in the family of the original owner who bought it new in Safford, AZ.

I wouldn't mind getting a '67,'68, '71,'72. Until then, I'm just a lurker.

Hopefully the family appreciates you honoring your agreement and enjoys the truck. Maybe a great deal will come along for you.... you know, good deed reward. Could happen.

Isn't that called good Karma?

Good job, integrity is pretty rare these days.

Nice to see a real stand up guy! That one would be tough to let go of. Hope you can find a great replacement!
