Just thought I would share my story.

This is a picture of my ride (as dark as it is). Anyway, Here goes my story. I bought this car when I was 12 for $300.00 (entire savings of a 12 yr old) with a 170 3spd in pieces in the bed. My dad and I put the motor together and on the test drive around town we grenaded it. Swapped in a 200 auto from a Mustang and drove it until Christmas break my senior year in High School when I put in a 302 c4 from a Torino so I could compete with my Mustang and Camaro buddies in school. First year in College (1991) I did the body work and had it painted twilight blue metallic. This is it as of Wednesday night 4/18. I am in the process of fixing some body work and making it a daily driver again. The last time it was really driven was 7 yrs ago when I got married (it is in the wedding pictures), that year I drove it about half the time going to work and on weekends. In the past 4 years, I moved from California to Oregon, bought a fixer upper house and had a son (actually my wife helped me with that one) so I have had not much time to drive or fix up the old girl. Anyway, thanks for looking and the support when I ask for help....
