MARCO'S
WOODSTOCK CAR
This
beautiful car is a 1968 Chevrolet Impala. My parent's bought
it brand new in 68' and I was conceived in the backseat on
the way to the original Woodstock in 1969 !
No, that's not true,
but it sure makes for a great story!
Actually,
I bought this car in Florida in 1989. I drove it for about
four years and then I had the engine rebuilt. Then I ran out
of money. She sat on blocks in my garage for some time and
then in a friend's barn for most of six years. As part of
her upkeep, I would start it up once in a while, take her
out and wash her. I had many opportunities to sell her during
this time, but ever since I had this car I had dreams of making
her into the ultimate 60's mobile. I knew that if I sold her
to someone else and I saw her going down the road, it would
break my heart.
So
I scrimped and saved until I had enough to do what I wanted,
which is what you see here. But now, the dream is realized
and I have to let her go. Truth is, I can't afford to have
a toy like this in my life. So maybe your band sold a gazillion
records, maybe you hit it big in the stock market or maybe
your grandparent's left you a millionaire before you were
25.
Whatever...
if you would like to own this unique piece of Americana, it
is for sale. But I can't put a price on ten year's of dreams
and hard work, I have to let you do that. So I will accept
any and all offers until one feels right. Just think, taking
a Sunday drive in this beauty!
I would like to thank the following people for their invaluable
help:
Mike
and Kelly Sinclair-Dubois for giving freely of themselves,
their space and their resources. I could not have done it
without them.
Mike's beautiful artwork adorns the trunk and also the passenger
side door panel inside. John Jandura for providing the spectacular
paint job and because he let me use his garage space for months
and never once asked for a thing in return. In him, I have
found a great new friend. Eugene and Michelle Slade for storing
my car on their property and helping me transport it down
to Woodstock. Eugene believed in this project when everyone
else thought I was on drugs or something. Michele Carlise,
(Rayna) moral supportist extraodinaire. She also did the driver's
side door panel inside and various and sundry other tasks.
Steve Brisson, my brother, who procured some very hard to
find items for me and also has been firmly in my square since
day one, literally. Bunny and Apple for teaming up and creating
the awesome seat covers for me. Bunny also did the headliner
and some other sewing. Mary Bedell for assisting with some
painting and other miscellaneous tasks and for just generally
cheering me on when the going got rough. Holly from Omega
for her sewing expertise. If there is anyone I overlooked
or omitted I would like to at this time express my sincerest
heartfelt appreciation for all your great help in making the
longtime dream into a reality.
I hope you enjoy looking at this beauty.Although owning this
car has been its own fulfillment, there are many thematic
possibilities this car could fulfill.. Hey, how about a Woodstock
wedding limo business? If you are interested in making an
offer on this unique car, please feel free to contact me at
marco@rockrock.com
I am entertaining all serious offers.
The car is located in Woodstock, NY.
Peace, Love and Light,
Marco
