    My car turns 50 today!

    The build date on my car is April 8, 1968, so that makes today its 50th birthday. I took it out for a blast through the local hills to celebrate.

    Happy birthday-- I see the car has green tint on the windows which is most likely a US car as most Euro cars would not have the tint. Chris

    Thanks DanielJ!

    Chris, yes, it is a US car, but the previous owner removed the ‘68 US side markers, and I swapped out the sugar scoops for a pair of John Audette’s LED headlights so that I can actually see where I’m going at night.

    My car turned 46 this month. Im unsure of the actual day so its more a birthmonth, 4/72.
    She got spoilt.
    Front calipers serviced
    Front rotors skimmed
    New brake shoes all round
    New wheel bearing all way round
    New oils
    New fuel and oil filters
    Washed , cleaned and polished.
    And after all that the ungrateful tart backfired at me upon start up,,

    Mark, truth be told right after I took the photo above, the car wouldn't start. She's done that before and I just needed to wait 10 minutes or so then she fired right up. She can have an attitude at times...

    Thanks for the kind words Dave.
