Now if the Tour becomes a classic car then maybe stories like the one below will be told about it in the future
"â??I bought my 1974 Grandville convertible for $6,000 in January, 2005. The guy I bought it from purchased it for $5,500. He is a dentist, and a friend of his from England asked him to buy it. They only bought it to drive from California to Chicago, Illinois and back for a Lou Gehrig disease fund raiser. They put over $7,000 in repairs into the car.
His friend went back to England and he didn't need the car any more, so he put it on Ebay. I bought it and got a really Great car!! He only lived 200 miles from me, I'm in Fresno and he lives in Carmichael, California.
So I took the train there and drove the car back. He gave me all of the receipts, and what he paid for the car. Here's what he had done to the car last year: rebuilt engine and trans, new coil springs, new power brakes and master cylinder, rebuilt radiator, all new hoses and belts, new alternator, new seat belts, and turn signals. It still needs things fixed - the air doesn't work, needs shocks, a sticker in the glove box says it has super lift shocks, but I don't see them, and it rides too mushy, the steering doesn't feel right either. It feels too easy with no feel of the road. And the last 2 things are the driver's side power windows, they work but don't line up right when raised all the way. And that's my classic!â?
