    I saw that car in Hendersonville, TN - don't know what happened to it after Johnny and June died. I heard the guy that built it took it back to his garage.

    I appreciate it, but we drilled it out so that it would fit and with a little bit help from an adapt kit, we had that engine runnin just like a song.

    Yessir, a swift truck ripped off the other fin making a Uturn. I used to own a 79 2dr Fleetwood, it could have been sweet but I didn't have the time to fix it up, air bag it, make that gutless 425 run right.

    However, I am outfitting a power wheels Jeep right now with chicken lights and the electric equivalents of 2WS. I'll be ready for you in the desert at Race Wars.

    We used to cruise the main drag of Swifton Ar, in a early 70's Coupe DeVille. 5hunnert an 1 cubic inches of gas drinkin Detroit muscle. The seats were a 1000 cubes apiece. On couple up front one in the back was just like renting a double bed room at the down an dirty inn.


    In all seriousness that car had some of the neatest options ever in mechanical version. Seek and scam on the radio. Automatic flag pole raiser. The bumpers would rock a little to make less damage in a small uh oh.
