    Ok, so staying out of trouble has never been a problem for me. I play golf when Mother Nature is nice and beat the snot out of my drum kit when Mother Nature wants to be a beeyatch. I do all the tree work (cut, split, stack, admire) when Mother Nature doesn't care!!!

    Hey I got the model right. Didn't notice the side molding was below the door. I had 2 67 500's both 2v's..... Didn't have the 289 in them for long! :D

    Nice solid looking car!

    I really really want one of these! But bought the new bass boat instead. Figured I'd get in much less trouble with the law! ;)

    I had a 66GT 390 4 BBL 4 speed 9'' . I got the car when I was in junior high and didnt have my liscense yet. I spent 5 years restoring it back when I was still in high school and after. Came out really nice. Sad to say I ran it out of gas one day on the highway (young and dumb ) and had to leave the car parked in the breakdown lane. Then a woman on her way home from working all night decided to take a nap while driving by and slammed the car so hard it was pushed 30 feet. When I got back to my car with the gas can there was 8 police cars parked behind my car and all I could see was pieces of my car scattered all over the road. That was one of the worst days of my life as the car was completely destroyed. I loved that car ! To make things worse, a few years later I had a huge stack of photos of the car in my truck that I had brought with me to a show .My truck was then stolen and I lost all of my pics. I have one pic left now and it isnt even a good one. Oh well. Nice car !

    I've decided to sell the Fairlane......I've had it too long. I'm too busy to restore it....so It needs to be rehomed.
