my uncle came by our house with his new 73 4 speed.
he knew (even though i was only about 10) that i loved cars.
he took me for a ride, i believe we went up to eagle rock reservation and back home.
he owned that for a few years, and was his dd.

loved them since.

Many years ago. My 1979 L-82 with Le Bra, fancy stripes, and Western Cyclone II turbine wheels with spinners.



Now. Hard to believe I've been driving these cars for 20+ years.
