The owner fired it up and said, "She drives real smooth." I replied, "You actually drove this rust bucket?!"
It just might be. Iirc it was a rust bucket in 84.

Default my first 66 Bonnie
This is how she looked when we brought her home. Paid 200.00 for her. Drove to Lafayette In. Unhooked the drive shaft and dad towed her home.
Originally had cruise controll and pw windows. I added an am/fm and a tilt wheel.
Dennis Kirban posted in the lobby about fond memories with parants. One of mine is with mom. She and I would go visit junk yards about every saturday looking for the elusive tilt wheel. Of course the last yard in the yellow pages, Scarborough (sp) had a 66 4dr. So off we went. I was shocked and thrilled to see the tilt wheel. 25.00 later it was mine.

Default my 2+2 at IMS
the Hoosier Antique Auto show used to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You could drive your car around the track. So we did. Pictures are form my brothers 65 GTO convertible. The Green vette was told to get off the track. He came out of turn 2 and nailed it. Half way down the back stretch the track personel were standing in the middle of the track pointing to the vette to exit stage left. Iirc this was a week after I was able to purchase my 2+2. 3rd week Sept 1982.

He's not the only one tossed off of that track for doing that.
