I was 24 and she was 21 in 1980 so you can do the arithmetic and see how old and decrepit we are now if you can't tell by our latest picture...

LOL, no, never went to the drags with it (other than back road ones), it was originally my mother's spare car. The wiring harness went, so I bought it from her before she could junk it. Paid $400 for the car and another $400 to get a new wiring harness installed.
