My memories of this truck start in August of 2003 when Jonathan pulled up to my parents house to pick me up for our first date. I remember looking out my window wondering what all the racket was. I think my dad was a little bit impressed when he eventually heard what all he had done to the truck. Jonathan whisked me off for Pizza and a cruise through the Taylorsville Dam. It was definitely a rough but fun ride and of course as guys do, he had to show off a bit...LOL! It has made many skid marks through the years and created lots of late night noise.
A few weeks ago, one of Jonathan's connections called him and said that a guy was looking for an older Ranger to fix up. Jonathan jumped on it. He sold the truck tonight. Below is a picture of the truck loaded up.
I forgot to mention that we did keep the most important parts of the truck. The heart (motor) and Transmission were pulled this week before it was loaded up. Maybe one day we will get to transplant these items to a new body and bring a another car to life.
And here it is being driven off. We had to keep watching as he drove down the road out of sight. A small tear came to my eye as I began to think of the movie Herbie. A rough looking truck that may one day be turned into a race truck. The new owner has promised to stop by after he has it all fixed up and maybe we will get to post some new pictures one day. Hopefully we will get to see him at the track on a Saturday night in all his new glory.
