Re: The Journey Begins

Of the many I have looked at over the years I have never seen any with pin-striping
Having driven it for 2 1/2 days now, I'm amazed at how mechanically sound it is
Broke all the rules and pushed it up to 150 kph yesterday and cruised for a short time at 140 kph on the 401. It was fantasictic. No shakes, no rattles, no shimmies. In fact, I don't think I have ever hit 150 in anything I have owned over the years that didn't feel like it was unhappy going that speed.
My son-in-law (mechanic and restoration specialist) upon driving it said it doesn't run, it doesn't sound and it doesn't handle like a 19 year old survivor.

So far, it has matched and exceeded all expectation.
The only thing it wants is a new sound system.
I learned quickly how thirsty it can be. 94 Octane gas is readily available here and goes about $1.35 per litre
