    We walked out to the car and were wondering if there was a chance that it would run. Frank was standing on the driverside of the car..so I opened the Passenger side door, Leaned in and got the Keys from ontop of the visor,stuck it in the ignition and as soon as the starter engaged the car fired right up instantly.We were amazed!:thumbs2:
    The car drives great and the Brakes felt as good as any drum brakes I ever driven with. I actually enjoyed the drive to Franks house. Note what I am pointing at in the second picture ...Pink Thong panties hanging from the rearview mirror ...at least we know that the previous owner had some fun in this car. Then again Mavericks trend to have that effect on the ladies you know.:yup:
