new guy

Hey guys and gals, my name is Tom Martin and i live in Ohio. After months of observing this great forum i thought i'd join. I have a 1969 Lemans blue convertible. Its numbers matching 350/300, with a TH400, i bought it in 1969 for alot less than its worth now! Its got new suspension, new tires, all new brake system, new interior, carburetor and power steering assembly. I love this car, if only it was a 4 speed......

Welcome.. Sounds like a pretty car.. I know what you mean about the 4spd. That was THE biggest deciding factor in getting my car.. other than the wife saying it was ok... :blueangel:
