PDW72s,
Right there with you! Black 50 Merc two door coupe with a 239 flathead, three on the tree and it had to weigh 5000 pounds! Course we were paying 19.9c a gallon of gas at this time as well.
Graduated up to a 65 Triumph Spitfire (shoehorned a Triumph Hearld 6 cylinder motor into it) that would go sideways in 3 gear and never owned a American car since!
Wish I had the Merc today!
JA
