64 freed
Sorry it is only a '64 and white to boot with a slush box tranny and only 250 hp. Just thought I would share a few pics of the old girl
out in the sunshine getting a bath after 30 yrs in solitary confinement. Still looks good after all those years at least in my eyes.

I drove this car often before I put it in the garage not to move in 30 yrs. Over the winter months I re-did all the brakes, fuel system, ignition, next is to try and
start sometime next week, then drive her some more. To-day was the first time in 30 yrs that see has see daylight. Also did the A/C components.

Nice color combo that you never see. And it’s odd it was ordered with AC and auto with no radio.

I would love to hear the rest of the story. Why was she put away 30 years ago to pull a Rip Van Winkle? She looks like a real nice car. Hope the plans are to start enjoying her again.

I put her away because I was not impressed with the slush box, originally bought it because of the odd options.
I had her younger brother to drive far more exciting. The 66 has been to Bowling green to the Corvette plant,
Williamsburg Va NCRS convention several Michigan outings

A/C auto car should not be hard to sell if that is your plan. Lots of aging enthusiasts looking for auto trans cars these days as well as younger people that can't drive a manual trans.

Never had the money 30 years ago to park a car....all of mine had to "work for a living" Nice you're getting back around to her...

She’s a beauty! Glad to hear she’s at large again.
