Default First Drive in 27 years

my 13 year old son's 65 Tempest moved under its own power today for the first time since it was sent to the junkyard in 1993. It ain't pretty,
but it runs. He was very excited.

Nice.

You and your son working together to bring a worthy old car back from the dead - truly priceless.

It doesn’t get any better than that.

Your daughter is correct.

Back from the junkyard. Almost a graveyard car. Only better. It’s a Pontiac! Awesome!
