You're right up there with the guy in New York who fell off the 46 story building and lived a few weeks back. The Good Lord is definately watching your back!Quote:

I also had a '66 Ford Fairlane GT-390/335 HP 4 Speed-nice car, did some work to it and it would move pretty well-sorry I got rid of that car-
Mine was the first 70cuda 440+6 plymouth made-yes I know how much it would be worth now. I paid @$4200 for it and had to wait 5months to get it.:CRY: :CRY:
Probably going to make you cry, but a gold one just like that went on Barrett-Jackson for over 50 grand last night........................:CRY:Quote:

Poncho,
Thank you so much for finding that! My car was just like that except it was Blue with a Blue Interior-it had the same Seats (Astro?)-seeing that Interior sure brought back some memories! I just wish it was a 427!
I think my first BB car was a 64 Galaxie 500 XL. Factory 427 4 spd.
Vintage Burgandy.....what fun

1967 427 Corvette roadster, sold my '68 Z-28, (my first new car bought off the showroom floor @ Luby Chevrolet in Denver) to buy it in '71. It only had 3,100 miles on it it when I bought it as a bank repo. Totaled it about 9 months after I bought it doing something stupid.
