Hey Shalom,

In America we drink coffee. Leave it to the Brits to drink tea, and drive on the wrong side of the street.

That is a sweet ride. Enjoy it! And a Happy Birthday to the old girl!

Mine is also 47, but we never discuss age.

Thanks guys... 4 likes... Well that really better than I expected for an original paint triple black 435 with some ugly tires and wheels.... But she's mine and I have a thing for her... But my wife wouldn't buy her a present.. I said she is your mistress too. She didn't go for the sales pitch....r

Hi S,
I know of a black 66-67 (?) Chevelle with those tires on it.
I haven't seen it recently, but when I would it would ALWAYS make me check it out!
Regards,
Alan
