Yeah, you can get where you are going pretty quick in this gal. However, she lasted as long as she has because she's been taken care of. She wasn't jerked around although I imagine she participated in a few road races in her time. The fella who has her now inherited her from his father, and is currently restoring her internal parts to factory specs. It's been a long time since I've seen a car with a trunk the size of hers. I can fit my living room furniture in there!
