    Bullet Bob's 66 coupe has a new owner

    His grandson, Evan, received the car.  He is 21 years old.   I have invited him to join the forum in case he needs any help with the car.   I also invited him to the future bash trips.  Be sure to welcome him once he joins this group.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Re: Bullet Bob's 66 coupe has a new owner

    That's great to hear.

    Part of the reason I had to do a 2nd Mustang is that I have two kids.  One will get the '67 the other will get the '89, or they can swap back and forth if they want.

    In about a year my wife and I will be taking possession of my father-in-law's Karmann Ghia convertible.  He's still with us thankfully, but simply can't drive the car with his current physical situation.  I took it for a spin the last time we were up to see them in ME.  Fun little car, and Dad has done a wonderful job with the restoration.  She definitely turns heads.

    Really nice car and nice to see it say in the family.

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    Re: Bullet Bob's 66 coupe has a new owner

    I'm not too proud to say it:   I just spent the last ten minutes  crying  after reading this.   

    I won't go into why, just feel like saying when the sun sets on one's dreams, it's also the beginings of all new dreams.   

    Truly the circle of life. 

    I still dream of driving up to the cemetery and parking between my father and my son's markers, pulling out a lawn chair and just sitting there and telling them I did it!

    I got to drive around with my dad in my clapped out 66 coupe.   I  got to sit in my convertible with my son in the garage talking about what we were *going* to drive to one day...

    That will just have to do.     

    I hope the young man realises the legacy he has been gifted and honours and cherishes it.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    My late twin brother had a 1964 Karmann Ghia convertible. It was a fun little car for sure.

    I think that is great the Bob's grandson will carry on the Mustang tradition.

    Greg you are not alone in being the only one who cried when we heard of Bullet's passing. Evan has many traits from his grandfather, and an old soul. I'm confident after talking to Evan that he will do Bullet proud. Evan's mom Renee wanted me to pass the word that she and the family wanted to thank the Mustang group who showed up in Montrose. It meant a lot to them.
