COOL! Did ya ever drop by Bob's Big Boy when the big three would send development teams onto the street with prototypes? Rumor has it there was a TON of street racing there being done under the guise of just a gear head running his machine when in reality the factories included it in their "black budgets". ....hehehehehehe!
BTW after the frame rails went on my '67 and marriage was threatening, I GAVE it to the clerk at my local parts store.
Talk about regrets!
Went through a bunch of cars including a 71 XJ6 (new - but a pain in the butt ride really), a 70 something Mazda RX2 with a rotary (it replaced my Stang), A Ford van, more Renaults than I care to admit to (I have a soft spot in my head for Fine French Automobiles. They don't run but make GREAT if somewhat odd looking driveway ornaments), a couple of Chevys, a Pacer wagon (Wife fell in love with it), a Fiat X1/9 (Wife refused to ride in it when she was preggers so it had to go), a final Renault Medallion wagon (expanding family...sigh), a Dodge Grand Caravan complete with peeling blue paint, a Chevy Caprice and now a 94 Plymouth Voyager.
How's that for a downhill slide?
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you liked the story. I swear every word of it is true!
