I had one of those for a while, but it wasn't as loaded as that one and it was a 2 door. It did have a 289 though - great little V-8. No cruise or A/C.

I bet she does, RI - but I doubt she uses Mobil 1.

You've got enough oil filters to last that long, don't you.

Not just the car but a wonderful lady, too. I love the part where she pulls the pistol out! I hope I have half her spunk at her age.
