Searching for an old friend

**Vikingblu** · September 23rd, 2013, 12:33 AM

Found the ONLY pic I have of my old Sprint. Circa 1983. I purchased the car for $1500. At the time, was a months wages for me.
Rode like an F350! Car had air shocks and tall front springs that were removed and replaced to get it down.
Previous owner had made some rust repairs that were unfinished on the lower rear 1/4s. I finished the repairs, and spot painted them. Painted the hood and both front fenders as well.
Daily driver, until someone made me an offer and I accepted it.

I have an old registration,,,3R17F164446.

Dave, Dave, Dave; why would you sell off a beautiful car like that?
Guess I'm not one to talk I've bought and sold 8 in the last three years. I hope you find her and maybe lucky enough the owner will visit this forum. Good luck.

Wellllllllll, dad booted me out when his GF and 3 of her adult kids moved in.
I had to sell everything to try and buy a house. Traded my 54 Vicky for a 77 chev truck and some cash too, don't shoot me.
The house deal fell through, lost my job, and MY GF left me.
Seems I was spiraling downward a bit in my twenties.
Fast FWD 30 years, the Futura is looking brite!!
