My 76 T/A
I bought a black 76 T/A, 455, 4spd back in about '82. Never met the owner. The car had some performance mods: Headers, intake, carb, etc. I was in college at the time. The body was sound but it was in deparate need of a repaint. We did a poor backyard repaint job on it and it was off to college. One day after I got out of class I walked up to the car and found there was a note on the windshield. The note went something like this, "The car looks nice with the new paint job, it was the best 140+mph handling car I ever owned". The car did have some top speed; the 85mph speedo kept going right around so you could still gage what speed you were at. Funny thing, it had a switch mounted under the dash the would turn all the lights off except the 2 headlights. I wonder what kind of stories the car could tell.
