Esta é uma historia de uma aposta feita em 22 de setembro de 1973 onde um dos apostadores afirmava que o veículo da foto abaixo seria restaurado em um período de 10 anos e todos duvidavam.
Veja este ressuscitou das cinzas digo........da ferrugem, foi motivo de grande orgulho inclusive se isto viesse a ocorrer o mesmo ganharia uma pizza de peperone com uma dose extra de queijo. Veja abaixo o texto em inglês.
The Truck is finished now. It's red, it looks great, it runs great, and it is snowing. Thirty-Five Years and counting, that test drive will just have to wait until spring... or will it? Oh, how I wish I saved that napkin. This story was written in January 2009. Since then we did get the test drive and a whole lot more. It's a real looker. We took this truck to the M.A.R.C. National Meet in June, had it judged in touring class, and came home with an "Award of Excellence". This was followed by many car shows and tours with our Model "A" Club. We have had a blast with this restored treasure...
But wait, there's more! Just this January 2010, I was going through my files, looking for something and I came upon that BET. The one that Al & I made in 1973. Boy, was he surprised when I sprang that on him at our next Model "A" meeting. I didn't think I'd collect, and the look on his face was payment enough, but true to his word, Al brought me a check for $1000.00 on March 29,2010. It just goes to show you that even after thirty-five plus years, a bet is a bet, and a classic can be resurrected from a rust heap.
Happy Restoring!
