Perhaps not.

Well, I did.

Why?

Because I have a sentimental attachment to the model...

Yeah, that's me (way back in 1982) doing a burn-out on a
residential street (an activity I wouldn't condone anymore).

Tire speed > 40 MPH: Car speed < 10 MPH

Unfortunately, the photographer was a little to quick on the shutter;
a few moments later, tire smoke was boiling out of the rear fender
wells in a quantity that would have made Don Garlits proud.

(I remember it, it was epic.)

But you know how moments are...
Here one second, gone the next.
Easily missed.

Anyway...

I LOVED THAT CAR!

(you always remember your first)

After the Emerald Green paint job had run its course,
I opted for something a little more obnoxious:

Yeah...
That's Candy Apple Red all right.

This was my old High School through Jr. College car.
Freshly painted, and freshly washed.
A thing of beauty...

It originally came with the 351C V8, but by the time this picture was taken,
we had transplanted a big block 429 and a C6 transmission out of a 1970 TBird.
It was quite fun, until...
