RidgeRunner Gets The '74!!...
Vic made the long haul last night from Lakeland FL to Spartanburg SC...got in about 2 am and crashed at the Marriot...gave me a ring this morning and came out, had coffee, loaded the V onto what is definately the nicest trailer that hull's ever been on...we chatted a while and off he went...It's GREAT to meet good folks like Vic!!...one of the perks of this forum
     The two parties shake on the deal...and out the drive goes the '74 for the last time   Ridge has some pretty impressive plans for it...I won't steal any thunder...will let him tell ya what's to become of my old friend...but it sounds like a pretty racy deal to me...

It's great to keep her in the family. If any of ya'll haven't seen RidgeRunner's/Vic's album, check it out. He' got a SWEET center console that took him 10 years to restore. I think the Reelappealin' 1 is in good hands.

Update
Long roadtrip. The 74 never mad it to its new resting place. Neither did the truck. Got a load of bad fuel at the Texaco in Walterboro, SC. Nursed it back to FL. Barely crossed the state line. I hope I didn't hurt anything. That is a story worthy of a new thread all by itself.
Nice meeting both Reel and Bradford. BTW, I failed to turn right at Columbia, SC on my way back. Went straight onto 126 and into Columbia. Glad I did. I got to see the Saluda and Broad Rivers (I think) large boulders and rapids which is a rare sight for this Florida boy. I don't get around much.  My next call is to Texaco

there's a great place to look at the river at the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, has a bridge over the river, lots of history around there, best view in the place is at the back end of the parking lot
