Alice the White Wagon
I have been in the business of buying, restoring and selling cars for the past 7 years.
It has put me through college.
The problem is, I hate restoring mopars, benz's, mustangs, etc.
I would work on these cars, and although I sell them for a pretty penny, I just hate touching those cars!
I realized one day that I loved to work on my Pinto's.
I bought a 76 sedan for almost nothing, fixed the A/C, replaced the whole interior.
One day, even thought the car needed paint, someone offered me a boatload of money for it!
So I figured....hmmm, restore a Pinto for money? Well, I'll give it a shot!
I picked up a light blue 1980 wagon for free.
Awesome body, blown head gasket and decent interior.
But still a pile of crap, no better candidate!
Once assembled, the car was just a beauty.
My sister and I did such a great job that well, after all that work there was no way I was going to sell her.
That's how Alice was born.
She is now one of my pride and joys, despite the fact she really isn't anything special in the realm of Pintos.
Still, she is all my work and totally immaculate!
Her name came from the movie, Alice in Wonderland.
Alice was in a blue dress with a white apron.
Also, the book, Through the Looking Glass, was written while Lewis Carroll while on opium.
Opium is what you need to be on to restore a car that you never wanted with no good options at all.
Oh well. Alice is still a great car.
