Kind of the End of an Era, huh? Sorry to see the old girl go! Hopefully she'll have a new life with someone else who'll put as much blood, sweat, tears and love in to her as you and Danny Jr. did all these years!!

Be safe!

Went thru the same feelings a few years ago when I sold my '74 GTO a few years ago after racing it for more than 30 years ..........wish I had it back .

Big Danny I know that was a hard sell and wish you the best. Care to enlighten us on what direction you're going, any immediate plans or are you just scoping things out?

Sorry to see that Danny. I was hoping to stay home enough this year to meet up with you, in the lanes. L to L.....!!! Maybe another time. Good luck with your future ride !

Was looking forward to seeing a four door in Hot Rod...always tough to part with an old car, think I've tried to buy back about 50% of the race cars I've owned at one time or another. Sometimes you just have to shed the old skin....look forward to seeing your next ride.

Who Got it?

danny waters sr · 01-20-2012, 07:19 PM

Thanks for the condolences ....
At least it went far enough away i won't have to see it much...

Lets just say it is in good hands...

The new owner does not want me to say who he is just yet, he kinda wants to just bring it out without notice.......
I am kinda glad it is at least still gonna be a stocker...

I have been looking at a back-half camaro that i kinda like and will probably end up with it.
Plan to maybe run some footbrake to start with and gradually step into hotrod again...

I will not stray far from stock as it is my favorite class. Not if ,but when i return to stock ,it will not be as slow as the ole 283.....Just trying a little dif approach and have some fun.....

I know i will miss my baby as i am already having withdrawals ......but life goes on....

I believe it's for sale and back in L.I.

I bet I know who has it. If it's the same person I was talking to last week.
