61 Sunliner rag top, 390 interceptor, 4:11 posi, Interstate 66 under construction and 'Closed' to traffic. It took all three lanes to cross the bridge over 522 at Front Royal, Va.
I might go up to the garage an visit that car tomorrow! I'm sure that the battery could use a few hours on the 'trickle charger'..
Waiting for spring! Fresh primer, stainless steel fender skirts,top down, fresh brakes,ratty interior, 300K on it 36 years later.
