dear pricey

a little on the high side ?? as if that were some sort of hidden discrepancy .... so lets look at the simple facts in front of us and this mystery will be come clearer reference http://www.gladwell.com/2007/2007_01_08_a_secrets.html for why i call this a mystery ... first item ... price policy http://www.gowesty.com/pricing_policy.php item 2 ...the insane fine tooth comb used by gowesty experts as they make a "new" van for sale http://www.gowesty.com/vehicle_details.php?id=1330 item three ... attitude click on the pictures of the van for sale at gowesty ..if it has gowesty wheel package you will see the gowesty wheel centre and the cool GW shape ... reminds me of the apple sosumi sound ... he he he ...

my wife and i like gowesty people and what they appear to stand for ...a good business model.... well run... and profitable ... they seem to run with a sense of responsibility toward the families they feed with their well ordered efforts ...they seem to have created a place that encourages customers to willingly pull out that other c note and hand it over with gratitude ... like a well run *Chandlery *

if one set out to plan a business like gowesty it would be hard to follow through ... but i imagine it would be possible

find your self a vehicle that is well wanted and has a reasonable possibility of succeeding from generation to generation ... it could be a ford but not an edsel per se .. maybe the F150 http://f100central.com/catalog/48-49-50-51-52-f1-parts-178/48-52-body-parts-237/48-52-bed-parts-180/48-early-50-f1-stock-bed-kit-complete-1340.html and become excellent at servicing those who drive the vehicles and love them ... restore a few and offer them for sale

whats that ...have to amortize a full set of snap on and hoist plus shop space and storage of wrecks for parts and knowledgeable workers to r&r every single part starting to sound like a hand built vehicle isnt it ... bentley rolls royce and etc starting to come to mind

60k for a practically new westy ... deal at twice the price

sign me ... an unapologetic apologist for gowesty

yours
