Not my actual car. (
wish I had a photo of it and me back then!)
Mine was green. I paid $50.00 for it in 1966. It had 56,000 miles on it and It smoked like I was fogging for misquitoes... Took me and my Dad a couple of weekends to find and replace a couple of burnt valves, and a blown seal in the automatic transmission that was allowing transmission fluid to be vacuumed into the carburetor. (transmission used a vacuum assisted advance to change gears... that's what caused all the smoke!)
Was t-boned and totaled by an uninsured guy running a stop sign in 1967...
Noncomretired,
You look just like the Drill Sergeant I had in 1967... at Fort Bragg. (E-7-2) He had unbelieveable stamina. He would go to town or the club and drink till they closed... then come back to the baracks about 3AM, and fall asleep in front of the TV, then get up at 5AM and kick our butts ALL DAY LONG !!! ...and then do it all again!
