Wow, brings back memories, ...
Back in 1980 I bought a '69 Custom S for $75 when I just graduated High School.
The car had been sitting for a couple years, so when I drove it home, it only ran on about 6 of the 8 cylinders! New lifters, & it ran great for a couple of years.
The car was a bench seat car, HD 3-speed floor shift, 350-2v, A/C, no PS nor PB. Verdoro Green with a white vinyl top. Had those 6 rectangular hole hub caps on it originally. Soon was swapped to the old chrome steelies, & eventually went to 15" Rally II's.
After 3 motors, 2 transmissions, & 1 rear-end, it finally ended up with a '70 455, with lots of build-up goodies in it, a TH-400, & a 4:56 12-bolt rear. Talk about a stump puller, ...
Would have been a sweet 1/8 mile car, but it was actually my daily driver for almost 16 years.
Sold it in 1986 when I was in Ames, IA, for $800 'cause I didn't drive it much anymore & needed the cash.
Wish I had that one back, ...
