OK Denis, I got lost or my memory is slipping: Who or what is Ruby?
And speaking of things for sale: One of our club members has a 65 bug
for sale, looks rough, but it's basically all there, no rust, just moved here
from CA and never been wrecked. He is currently driving it as a daily driver.
Would be a good daily driver if you don't care about cosmetics or would make a
very good base car for some one wanting to do a 65. He is asking $1,500.

After having Ruby on the Samba for ONE DAY I sold her to a young
woman from Tulsa. I asked, what I felt was, an exorbitant price and got very
close to it. The fact that she is almost local, and is paying cash appeals to
me. I don't have to get payment from East Bejesus and arrange shipping or pick
up. She will come Friday pay me, and drive Ruby home. And, she is also sooooo
excited.
I have never sold a "classic" and I am sad.
The woman wanted to know the odometer reading. I wasn't near the car
at the time, I said I didn't know, but on these old cars I always assume that
it would read a million. She asked if the odometer worked, funny, I don't know.
I believe, in my mind, that it is not so important to know the miles on a car
like her as it is the hours. Like on tractors.
She owned a 74 bus at one time, so maybe she knows what to expect
from old cars. She asked me what mechanical thing is soon to break, and I
thought, and the honest fact is, there is no reason, right now, to think there
is ANYTHING on the margin. I have to think that is rare in these old cars.
Bye bye, Ruby.
