Title: Anyone Own This Razor Edge Ghia
Post by: el_flechador on March 12, 2005, 08:28:38 PM
Red razor edge ghia been sitting in the alleyway where i used to work for quite a few months now, and i was wondering if it belonged to any of you guys?? Its in the alley between 4th and 5th with Fir as the cross street, down next to Granville Island.(behind the Lazy Gourmet) just asked because its been sitting for so long and i thought it would be sad to see it go down hill anymore?if not it might be worth leaving a note on it just incase the owner wants rid???

go get it, el flech.

ask around the neighbourhood and try and find the owner. it would be a shame to see it rot into the ground.

I want it! I have been trying to buy one for 10 years or so but he just won't sell it. Also know of a auto 68 mint condition one in West van, tried to guy that since 1991 :(
If your not interested on that T34 I'll go ask about it.

I drove bt since i live close and it is pretty rotten but with a little clean up , throw in a big motor, put on some wheels and it would look pretty killer. I love those cars, i wish i could buy it

I work round the corner now . if i can drag my ass out of bed early enough i'll see if i can find out who it belongs too and post what i find out on here tomorrow? Unless anyone else wants to. I guess it would help if a whole bunch of people don't turn up or the dood or doodette might think its worth a packet..
