The smell of a old GM muscle
Just a comment, I love the smell of a unrestored GM muscle car that's kept in dry storage for many years, I now have three and they all smell pretty much the same, a 69 ram air iv judge, a 71 gs stage one vert, and now the sd car, I just sit in them and it's like going back in time, I graduated in 1973 and the smell brings back the memories, which can be very powerful,when you just sit in the car alone and take it in. I had a 67 GTO and my much of youth was experienced thru this car, my steady gal sitting on the console, drag racing buddies, cruzing, crazy burnouts, going to parties, 8 track music, drive in movies and yes the back seat, you name it, much of the fun I had, happened in my car. Am I crazy or anyone else experience this? Its almost like a new car has its own odor, so does a GM unrestored car with original carpet, seats, dash, door panels etc. I have had Mach 1s, cudas, cougars, tbirds just not the same?
I will post more picts of the car in a couple of days including the 1973 accident report, dealer check in sheet, etc.
