This wasn't the first time someone wanted to buy my westy!!! After I bought
it for$200. And got it running I drove it to the neighboring town that has a
car wash to see how much body paint work it needed, a whole bunch!!! I
noticed someone following me around,I stopped and he approached me wanting
to know if it was for sale NO!! was my reply he gave me his#  and said if
you change your mind call!! NO!! is still the answer my 5yr old daughter
loves Velma about as much as I do. Velma grew on us very quickly!!!

A month after I bought my '83 back in '96 I was getting gas at a local gas
station when an old Saudi guy gets out of a limo, walks over to my van and
sticks his head inside my open sliding door. He said "I like this, how much
you pay for it?". I said "About $4,200". He said "I buy". I said it's not
for sale. He got very indignant and said "I buy" then his son walked out of
the store and said  "Dad, stop buying cars from people and get back in the
limo.".  True story.
