First experience with a Pont.
Had a cousin that lived in Alabama when I was about 14. He had a sweet 67GTO w/389 4speed(at least I remember it being sweet). I stayed with him for part of the summer. Coolest car I'd ever ridden in. Burgandy w/blk vynal top.
A couple of years out of HS I needed to buy a car of my own and return my dad's toyota pickup that I'd been driving for a couple of years. I was looking at Merc Crapis. Had the idea to drop it. Add ground effects. Tint out the windows. Put some on fattys. Thank god I found a bird first.
Found an orange 68 Bird for $1300 before I found the merc but the engine was in dire shape and I didn't have the cash to do anything about that. Two days later I saw an ad in the classifieds for a 69 Bird. Ended up buying it for $1350. That was in 79. So far we've been through an engine fire total, a front end collision total, four different color changes, four differnt motors, two kids, alot of good times and lots of other cars in 30 years. The wife still swears it hates her because she's the other woman. Don't think I'll sell her anytime soon(the Bird).
