This post is more a general reminder to all not necessarily about this particular car-
While I love this car and have for years I certainly hope you enjoyed it and ripped a lot of gears with it rather than just let her sit. (I’m fairly sure you did and I know you had others to rip gears with also). That’s what these cars were about having fun and enjoying them, fine line between preservation and stagnation.
I’m fairly sure from Pryor posts you did in fact enjoy this car!
I just want others to remember these weren’t meant to be retirement packages they were cars to be driven and enjoyed that’s why we love them so much.
I have a brand new hellcat Durango and while I enjoy it’s so clean and all original parts and currently in perfect shape my father reminds me OFTEN to take it out and run it hard otherwise what good is owning it. He says “ what are you saving it for the next guy to enjoy.” “Go tear it up”. He’s 85 years young. At that point we usually take it for a hard run down the airstrip where I keep it !
What good is having a beautiful woman if you never make love to her!
Sounds like this car was enjoyed from 69 to 89 and is still one of the finest examples.
