Nothing against people with viruses but [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] Next time in current english not old world dialect [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] Can't tell it any better than that Stefano.I was in awe as she walked around the car and pointed different items out.Either way it confirmed what some of us thought(Ratpack) that there were two 69s and she confirmed that when she said she was there the day they were both painted.P.S. that radio flyer is currently in our possesion and undergoing a frame off resto.Weren't satisfied with its current condition!! Thanks Dom

I would like to get something straight before it gets out of hand,I in no way at any time tried to convince Nancy Gibb that this was her fathers funnycar body.She did the convincing.We at no time knowing they were there ask her to take a look at the car,she stumbled across it walking around.I had the car for sale at what I thought was fair market value as a 69 funnycar.My father had an offer for a trade on a supposed NICKEY/BILL THOMAS LA car as Mark Hassett can attest to and another big block 69 camaro.She told us not to sell the car as she walked away.She even felt bad because she felt people were making fun of here over the excitement she showed over the car and I informed her they weren't that they were in awe over what she was saying.We did go over photos and discuss other things as well.She is a very gracious person and we appreciated the time she spent talking to my father,myself and other site members. I accept what Nancy and Mrs. Gibb have to say on this subject.They were there.

Tim,
I can certainly attest that it was a chance meeting,and she was telling you what you had, whether or not the car was discussed with her by someone else and she was pointed in that direction I do not know.

She didn't seem to mix words when she said that there were definately two cars.

I certainly do not know anything other than what she said.

I hope I didn't offend her, I was after all quite a bit giddy and overwhelmed.

Tim
It was nice to meet you and put a face to the name at VF.I saw this F/C and enjoyed it as well.Were you able to have her to sign the F/C..If so where did she do it at?

[copolocater]

No Stef nobody offended her she was just excited over the car and didn't want to seem like she felt you guys thought she didn't know what she was talking about.No didn't have her sign the car it was in the afternoon and didn't want to take up alot of her time.I was just excited myself just to be in her presence and have her being so kind to speak to us. She didn't have a full understanding of what was happening when she was speaking.First time I've seen those guys listening instead of talking [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] .Whatever happens I was in the presence of something that you just can't explain.I'll never forget it. I'm humbled

Congrats Tim. I found the original owner/builder of a 66 GTO funny car I owned. When these folks find out a very dear part of their past is still around after all these years it has quite an affect on them. I also found the original owner of my Y Chevelle ...his wife was nearly in tears..they had no idea the car was still alive after all these years.Same deal with a Super Duty Pontiac I had. The original owner had passed away but the Mrs. talked for an hour about the good times they had ordering and racing that car. Make the family proud and get it painted and lettered again.

Bob,
Would that be the famous 'Blue Goose' Super Duty.
