As you can imagine I was getting pretty excited about now.
I think Don was getting pretty tired of me about now too.
The transport was supposed to arrive around 2PM (PDT) Saturday February
4, 2006
at Mustang Country in Paramount CA to pick up the ITALIEN.
Don was going to call me when the ITALIEN
was loaded and on the
way.
Not having heard from him at 4:01PM here (CDT) I must have called him
and
he seemed a little annoyed because even if the truck had arrived on
time
they certainly couldn't have loaded it and sent it on it's way byt 2:01!
This is a little of an exagertion but you're getting the idea how
anxious I was.
The ITALIEN
was picked up
by the transport on Saturday evening (Feb 4) about 7:00 PM.
The truck
driver called me after he left Don's place to tell me that he had the
car
and he wondered if I knew what I was getting, and if I had seen it.
The car doesn't look very good, especially the interior,
and the driver
was concerned that I would be upset when it arrives.
I assured him I
knew exactly what I am getting
and that I was out there to inspect it
before I purchased it.
When He got here I told him what the car is
and showed him
one of the color pictures of it when it was new.
Here are a couple pictures of the ITALIEN being loaded in LA on the transport.
As it was getting later in the evening and dark, the pictures aren't
that good
but you get the idea.
