Long drive on Friday so I'll want to just keep the wheels turning, but we are coming back on Tuesday and stopping in to see Linda's brother for a little while. You going to be around then?

Alright, I probably will regret this along with at least 3 of my other 9 previous Land Cruiser sales but I know that my favorite color for the 62 series is the Charcoal Grey color and that's what i want to own long term so the red will need to go despite the protests of the females in the family. I have my sights on an ONSC members grey 62 to buy sometime next year TBD if all goes well, so putting out feelers now for "Mario" as my oldest daughter named him. We have owned him since Sept. 2011 and my understanding is that we are 4th owners. Purchased new in Savannah, GA and then owners #2 and #3 were in Atlanta. Mario was taken care of by my good friend Peter Merriam and that's where i found him....sitting for 9+ months behind Peter's shop. At the time my oldest daughter was in the throes of battling Lyme's disease and one day i happened to ask her what her "dream" vehicle was, expecting to hear a pickup truck as at the time she had been into horseback riding. She surprised me by describing a red land cruiser with automatic transmission (she had struggled learning how to drive a stick) but with manual windows. Well we got 90% right and surprised her with it for her 18th birthday on 10/17/11: 173k miles and running pretty good.
Happy day, one i will cherish forever! She hadn't done much smiling in the few years before that. She drove it her senior year and then attended college locally and drove it a second year. Her Sophomore year she wanted to go out of state and it was best to get her a more economical and dependable vehicle...well the Volvo wagon proved not to be as dependable but the Subaru Forrester later did! So for the past 2.5 years dad has "suffered" driving the 62, fighting off passive aggressive attempts by wife and daughter #2 to drive it! So just hit 199k miles but very recently had top head rebuilt by Trollhole's and Marshall has been taking care of him since i met him about 2.5+ years ago. Front end has been rebuilt, new power steering pump....Marshall says it's the cleanest, best 62 he's ever worked on but I am suspect....I've seen some pretty sweet vehicles at his shop. Here are some pics from today:

Well interesting turn of events....saw the Craigslist Ad for a Grey 1989 62 shared by @jdayment 2 days ago and went and saw it this morning and bought it! ACC and Marshall had done work on it and Marshall gave me the seal of approval as a good buy! Will be bringing it home late next week most likely and will have pictures then. Seller is a great guy, need to get him into another Cruiser at some point in the future!
