to those whom may remember, I sold my beloved '69 KE18 to pay for my all-time dream car, a '58 Desoto. The kid took excellent care of it but I just got a call that he was rear-ended. I don't want to see her, but he says it was hit so hard it buckled the passenger side (right) door and it won't open. The roof is buckled, the frame is taco'd and the right leaf spring is bowed lifting the right rear of the car. he drove her off the road, but the trans was leaking (driveshaft punched out the rear seal) so he had her towed home.

A real sad end to a very dear car.

Nooooooooooo!

 

 

;)

rip daisy 1969-2008 39 years is a great innings doubt mine will be around that long!

;) ;) Aww why does it have to happen to the good ones?!?!?!

sad man but what can ya do? stuff happens aye.

 

At least for the people who have them the prices will just keep on going up.

 

Still find them if you look hard enough me thinks.

That's really sad. I think you should go see it since you had owned it for so long. Take some pics so that you can document her life.

Buy the wreck back off him for next to nothing, and fix it!

You must save her Mike, she looked after you so well all that time...............

AND she came up Beautiful i must say ;)

Unfortunate...

 

Bet you wished you kept her now though hey Mikey?

RIP Daisy ;)

no; you just don't see KE1X's out here...finding a parts car would be impossible. Plus if it was hit so hard it distorted the door well, I don't think it would be savable. I Don't miss her as much as I though I would. I'm having WAY more fun with the B210 (120Y). Never owned a car that would do a burnout in second, let alone THIRD!!!!

WOW, I haven't been around long enough to know this car she looks amazing!

 

You got her to that level, I would like to think that what happens after doesn't matter so much.

Thats terrible mike! Sad to hear that sort of news...

 

She was one of the greats.

Thanks, scott....that means a lot coming from you.

There were memories-good and bad-tied up with her I really didn't mind losing. That's what made it easier to sell
