    I used to drool over those 'verts at the local Ford dealer when I was a young lad.  That car looks super clean!

    The lady Chuck bout the XL 500 from, had bought the car and had it all fixed up to celebrate her 10th Annaversary surviving Cancer.
    SO PINK!!
    Chuck sez he's gonna take the center cover from the Air Cleaner and make her a clock, So's she'll have a momento of the car.

    Re: Lost one to the heavy Side Today

    I owned one just like that one back in 1969. Same color body, interior and top. Unfortunately 3 weeks after I bought it the front frame broke in half cuz it was so rusted! I should have fixed it but did not have the resources then that I have now. The interior vinyl was pretty shredded so I only paid $75 for it, but I think I only got $25 when I scrapped it! Sure do miss those deals.

    It's easier to add horsepower than it is to lose weight.
