The car I have now "Dead Cat"
Was originally purchased 14 years ago and I restored it to drive as a daily driver. Put about 38,000 miles on it before the last rebuild.
This was my driver when I started my State Farm Insurance agency. Imagine the look on my policyholder's faces when I pulled up at there house in my 69 and hopped out in a coat and tie.
Speaking of power touring. I had to spend 6 months in Charlottesville, Va while my wife stayed home in Birmingham, Al. 680 miles one way. Never took more than 10 hours to get home. I would tach 4500 rpm running about 95 all the way home (350/turbo350) . The 69 never let me down. I wore ear plugs when I was driving. The first time I made the trip my ears rung for 3 days.
I miss driving it everyday and may start this spring.
Here is a shot of it before I took it apart and what it looks like now. Still can;t seem to find the time to put the front bumper on.
