    Bill,
    Mike in the Road Rockets drove the wheels off that car in '05, '06, and '07. It should be a good one

    Bill,
    I love that car. It's a winner for sure. Kinda like an old moonshine runner. I fully expect to see the trunk full of mason jars of pear salsa in the future.

    Folks are hungry in Atlanta...
    and there's pear salsa in Indiana
    And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes...
    East bound and down...
    Load it up and truck it...
    We gonna do what they say can't be done...
    We gotta long way to go...
    And a short time to get there...
    I'm east bound...
    Just watch ol Tierod run!

  18. Pretty car! My dad had several when I was a kid. Holding on to that steering wheel, making engine noises, wondering what all those wonderful knobs, and levers on that great dash did is what got me into old cars! Congrats. -MICHAEL
