Get off my lawn!

It will be almost broken in by then!
 Maybe some paint would help.

"My car is almost 100 years old ", reminds me of a scene from "Laws Of Attraction " when Brosnan's character asks the cougar mom, " So, are you really 50?" And she replied, "Parts of me are."
Both of you look pretty good for old timers. Don't change a thing. Best Les

Ruby red would look good just like my grandmother's 1950's Morris Minor.

Please don't paint that car. It's beautiful.

No one is gonna ask about the drivetrain? I think Yellow has stated what it has in it before, but I forget. I think SBC 350 with turbo400 trans.
