A friend at work owned a '64 Buick Riviera that was his grandfathers, the original owner. When his kids were born about 17-18 years ago he sold it. He regretted it right away but didn't have the money and moved on. He checked craigslist periodically to see if it ever came up, plus he just liked Rivieras and thought he might get another one some day. Yesterday while sitting at his desk we hear, "Holy shit! My car!". We laughed and thought he as talking about a McLaren at auction or something but he had found his grandfathers car being sold about an hour from us. He immediately called the owner and told him all about it and that he'd been looking for it for years. They had a good conversation and ended up agreeing on a price. He's picking it up after Christmas.
He said he still has the plaque with his grandfather's name on it as the new proud owner in 1964! Very cool.
