My dad has always wanted to own a C2 convertible. With life and a business, the closest he ever landed was a '69 C3. And while he enjoys his '56 Bentley and a 1929 Dodge Brothers, he will never own a sports car again due to back surgeries. He is in his early 60s and if there is one thing I wish I could do is have him drive a C2.

I'm hoping there is someone willing to give him a ride or let him drive (with you in the car of course) and I would gladly pay for your time and the privilege. I wouldn't want to put someone out on Father's Day, but a week or two after would be great if someone is available.

He lives on a farm in Mocksville, NC and I live in Charlotte, NC. We would travel an hour from either location to your chosen setting. Manual or auto, convertible or hardtop, daily or trailer queen; I would like to him to have the chance to drive the car he always wanted but never owned.

Please PM me if interested.

If I lived in the area it would be a done deal, especially since my 67 was delivered new in Charlotte, NC. Good luck in your quest.

Sir,

If was in his area (and my engine rebuild was complete) I would not only give him a ride, I'd probably let him drive it around.

But the least I can do is to give you a bump to the top.

My dad had a very nice 1925 Dodge business sedan with the noiseless starter. Very solid car. Dark green with a black fabric top. Wood spoke wheels and very dependable.

Thank you all for your support keeping this going, I'm hoping I can find someone. I won't quit and will keep trying until it happens for him.

I never had the opportunity to let my father drive my car as he passed away before I acquired it. I commend you on granting his wish. If you are ever in the LA area I would be honored to allow him to drive my 67 L71
Marina blue coupe with side exhaust. I think it would be the thrill of his life.

Can't help with your request as I live in Colorado, but I'll give your post a bump. Hope you're able to find someone willing to help out.

Kip- I looked up the mileage and I'm 5 hours away, and with a coupe. Your story is compelling, I hope you find it!

He's welcome to drive my 66 if you two ever get close to 17520.

Come on guys, there's got to be someone in that area that would be willing to do thus elderly man a service of almost making his dream come true! If not you, then ask a buddy to do it.

Might help to start a new thread with help in Charlotte NC area in the title. Got to be lots of C 2's in that area.
