I had it since but didn&#8217;t drive it very much and it has not many miles. I kept it in real good shape. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Dennis: I can see that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Alban: I&#8217;ve been happy with it all along, but now I want to get rid of it because my leg gets stiff due to Diabetes Neuropathy. I can&#8217;t drive it, that&#8217;s why I want to sell it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Time To Sell It<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Dennis: The car is a 1971 and you bought it in 1971. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Alban: Right. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Dennis: So you were a young doctor then right? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Alban: Yes <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Dennis: How old were you? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Alban: 34 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Dennis: This was an expensive car to buy in 1971. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Alban: Yes <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Dennis: Do you have any good memories with driving the car? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Alban: Yes, my only memory is that I was driving 110 miles p\/hour in Las Vegas, I was trying it out. The police pulled me over and he says: &#8221; Hi I had trouble catching up with you, but I&#8217;m going to cite you at 80 miles an hour because otherwise the judge in Boston is a women and she will throw you in jail.&#8221; Then I called Tim Early who is with AAA, he is a good friend of mine. He called the judge and got me off with a $55 dollars plus an apology. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Dennis: Wow, that&#8217;s great. So doctor, why did you decide to sell your car to a dealer as oppose to selling it privately?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Leo Typed in\u00a0Antique and Classic Cars<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Alban: Well, are you a dealer? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Dennis: Yes sir. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Alban: I didn&#8217;t know, I thought you were private.
