My Dad bought a 69 that color new but it had the smoother looking hubcaps. He would let me borrow it. I would flip the air cleaner lid over to hear that 4 bbl kick in and think I was going faster. I stripped the timing gears at 70,000 miles. What a great car.

Nice car, that silver on blue is a rare combo and nice to see, along with the 4 speed.

You didn't have anything to do with the timing gears failing, Charlie. That plastic overlay on aluminum cam gear was guaranteed to fail. A few made it to 100k, but not many. Replaced dozens of those sets in the 70's.
