[Story]

Back in college I had one (purchased out of New England) with a 351 Windsor, spent more on Bondo than I did the car. Idled like a Torpedo Boat.

Peeled off all the chrome so as not to distract from the poo-brown paint job & bondo basic brown Rust Bucket look.

Reminded of that ride every time I hear this song -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diOFiZi0T7c

I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
And we're headin' on down to the love shack

I got me a car, it seats about twenty, so come on
And bring your jukebox money

Ah, that takes me back!

I was driving a 1972 Ford ZF Fairlane with a 302 Windsor under the bonnet.
