Title: Goodbye Runabout! Hello Squire?
Post by: beicholz on August 14, 2011, 11:05:03 PM
 :(  I just finished watching my '76 back down the driveway, and it's gone forever.   The good news?   It's back in the original family...the original owners!  How did I find them?   The Internet, of course...

The lady who will be driving it rode in "mom's car" when she was a kid.  I'm sure she will be astounded when she sees it.  I don't know how it happened, but this car still looks brand new.   Not a speck of rust, and the paint is nearly perfect.

OK..so I know it's not news, but I still want a near-perfect Squire.   If anyone out there knows of one that's show-room new, or nearly so, please let me know.  I am willing to spend north of $10K for the right car.

Thanks, club members, for all the support with my Runabout!!!!

Thanks, Stu.  Sounds like an interesting car.  I am looking for a bone-stock car though...no mods of any kind.  I will check this one out, though.

I hope you get the car you want. I can not imagine letting go of such a nice car. I would love for someone to contact me and say I have the car you gave up 35 years ago.
