The guy standing next to me in the photo had a pinto too but his was darker then he had a 76 Caprice and a 62 chevy long bed pick up.
I drove a 73 Metalic blue with light blue pinstripping VW Bug that was broke down half the time. usually something stupid like the starter.
The points condenser went out atleast once a month so I tried to carry extra's then Hed a guy sit in the back that weighed 300 and push the spring on top of the battery and blew it up. LOL!!! He said I thought I smelled something. HA! HA! HA! Just stupid stuff all the time with that thing but when it ran it ran good.
1850 with a Eagle race cam head work and all. Just undependable so I got rid of it. Ya I loved the weather there.
Not sure if you know where mikes gym was but I worked out in there with my buddy and Mr.USA can't remember his last name but his first name was Sam.
That gym was right out side the gate in a little strip shopping center there, or if you were looking to go in the main gate it would be to the left down where a lot of on base homes were. I think the other small gate went to Salinas but that was by the old wooden barracks, that's where we practiced riot control. Ya I loved that base to bad they shut it down then they let Collage kids in there and they went thru and torn all the barracks up. Sad really.
