Did you wax it?! or Armore all it. Looks good! And to think if I had'nt given you a jump you would not have made it back to AZ. Still have the buckets in it?? Bet you do. John

Car did get a wash & wax before the photo shoot. Thanks for the jump start John. As we were leaving Norwalk, I saw the Wallmart & decided to get a new battery just in case. Figured if I didnt, we would be stuck on the side of the road somewhere. Still have the Escort buckets in it. Factory buckets need a lot of work before they go back in.

Your car looks great on the cover of the Smoke! Better than the cover of Rolling Stone!
How many of those 527,000 were you behind the wheel? Drive that thing out to Bonneville in August and watch a BlownTempest go 200mph!

WAIT!

Never mind! You will challenge me to drive my 62. I'm not taking it out on the salt, at least as a street car?

Car had 172K on it when I got it. Has 528K on it now. I have driven it 356k in over 14 years. Was going to go to Bonneville last August after Norwalk but got sick & couldnt make it.
