And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Not really. You can fix anything on that goat with a standard workbench worth of tools. I can't even find the battery on my wifes Equinox.
When her heater core went out it cost $1800 to fix it and it took 3 weeks. You can replace the heater core in that goat yourself in a couple hours for less than $100.
Fall of 1983, I was standing at the courthouse with a pocket full of money waiting on the owner of the '65 that I thought I had bought to show up and do the paperwork. He was a bit late but finally drove up in something else and explained he took the car out for one last romp and blew the engine to Mars.
I know how you feel, my case 1977 , grandpa's neighbor's 58 chevy, 20,000 miles and always stored, factory plastic still on the seats. night before the old lady took it out for a spin and got t boned, luckily she wasn't hurt too badly but damn

We used to call GTOs ... "Goats"...
ReplyDeleteWe always will.
DeleteAutos now are far superior mechanically to those but can't hold a candle to them when it comes to style.

ReplyDeleteMy cousin had one of these that he traded in 1974 for a Pontiac Firebird. Bet he wishes he'd have kept it.
