I switched to Ford in 95 and never looked back. I know my old iron though and had a load of fun doing it... 
We could have the engine and trans out, back in, up and running in 45 minutes. I kept a spare 402 and trans in the shop for such an occasion. 
Hard to do that today....

My daughter has suggested....Reba.
Yep. And the original sale bill / invoice.
The price of cars have gone up and not just due to inflation. Just over $ 4,000 in 1970 now over $ 24,000 in 2013.

Originals had a protect-a-plate, build sheets under the seating, hard to find now if someone had been through it. Roll the rear truck lid deck seal down and you find Vins stamped in the body, doors are Vin numbered, frame rails and other places.

When that happened the tape was usually folded like an accordion inside the player.

In that collection I found, there's an Englebert Humperdinck that HAD to belong to some chick I must have been dating at the time.

If it were somewhere in Western Ky or TN, perhaps Memphis, I bet there'd be some places there that's fit that bill. Perhaps Dutch would join us too!
