History
BOUGHT THIS CAR IN THE LAST WEEK OF HIGH SCHOOL, GOING FROM NO GIRLS LOOKING AT MY 56 FORD TO ALL WANTED A RIDE IN MY BAD 427.
WENT INTO THE ARMY, CAME OUT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER 4V JUST LIKE IT AND THE WIFE DROVE IF UNTIL THE KIDS WERE OUT OF THE HOUSE, NOW MY BROTHER HAS IT IN NEVADA WITH HIS CESSENA 185 AND CORVETT. I cannot believe I owned two of these cars.
