It has the murder red interior too lol 🤣🤣
It had an 8 track tape in it , Every which way but loose movie soundtrack lol.

The previous owner put a knights of St Patrick sticker on it , that has to count for something lol. Last time it was on the road was 1993 lol.

My buddy and I took the gas tank out and replaced it and everything else that once held fuel lol.
Short distance road tests will start soon. Many years of sitting will need the bugs worked out.
 
Had a 1970 Coup DeVille, was a monster of a car. 470 engine, but it took all that to move the weight.

Rode like a caddy should have rode. But my gosh, the parking stripes just weren’t long or wide enough, even back then.

Not my favorite car, but it rode fantastic!👍 Had climate control, which was a welcome back in the 70s.

Those cars, back in the days, makes me smile at what I used to have. 😁

Sounds like that was a great ride👍👍

This Lincoln has a 460 in it to get it moving. What I couldn’t believe is it has 4 wheel disc brakes and it’s a hydro boost system !!

It was fairly easy to wrench on those cars back then. The local boneyard supplied most parts too, I loved going there. Nowadays, I wouldn’t know where to even begin. 🤷‍♂️ 😁

My Jim Harbaugh's Chargers drafted a big bruising RB named Omarion Hampton out of UNC Tar Heels at their spot #22 in the 1st round of 2025 NFL Draft. I like this pick very much specially since the Tar Heels' RB coach, Natrone Means, was also a big bruising Chargers RB in the mid 1990s. AFC-West will be even a tougher division in 2025!

Running Backs are so very versatile, I would know, as are Defensive Ends too. I played both ways, and loved it😎
