We took the '67 there last year and had a great time.... Doesn't look like we're gonna make it this year though.

Went to take the '69 for a little drive today and it didn't even make it out of the garage LOL... It fired up and went to high idle like its supposed to.... I let it run for a couple of minutes and kicked it down and about 30 seconds later it died... like it ran out of fuel... tried to restart with no luck ... threw a couple of gallons in the tank tried to restart with no luck.... popped the hood to prime the carb... and noticed something leaking.... and its coolant!!!! I expected it to be fuel because its coming from around the fuel pump.... Sooo I shut the hood and jumped in the GTO and did what I had to do.... I should be down there investigating instead of sitting here typing this.... I need to get off my lazy ass mow the lawn and fix my car LOL...
