Default 1970 T/A-13 Years Later

Hey G-members great site. Here's my personal ride. It's got quit a story and I came out on the better end of a bad situation. I have had this car for 13 years. Way before the Polar Excess article was done on a similar car. I repossessed this car 13 years ago. After the collection officer that assigned the repo to me was fired the car remained on my storage lot for about 6 months. I finally called the Credit Union and they forgot I even had it. Once I brought it to their attention the asked me what my fee's were. 1 repo fee plus 6 month of storage they simply asked if they could send me the title for the fee's owed. I agreed. The car didn't have the original motor or tranny so I was free to put my spin on it. Our shop just finished it up. 1970 TA, 462 ci, TH400, 12 Bolt 3:55 gears. Bear 13's up front with 12's out back, Spintech Exhaust X-pipe. It is a BBLLAASSTT to drive and I never get tired of looking at it..
