[DeTomaso] funny listing response? yellow L car

Wed Mar 17 09:06:20 EDT 2010

There is a story here in Ontario about a guy who stooped at a small country 
gas station and store for gas and can't find anybody around so he starts 
looking around for the owner and finds an old Mustang in the shop. A young 
guy shows up and tells the guy the Mustang belonged to his dad who passed 
away. He would sell the Mustang but it would cost a lot to but it. The guy 
bought the car for around $15,000, it turns out to be a Holman Moody race 
car. Don't know if its true or not.
