it was a great trip!!! I love road trips, such good fun with friends. Everything went well, the little Nissan did a heroic job going through the mountains, the car is a bit of mystery, better than expected in many ways. I have to research it a little more. Flares turned out to be steel, has "new" early S front calipers, an early replacement dash, but so early it fits properly and a real 76 Turbo Carrera rear decklid. One disappointment is it only has 7s and 8. So now I have to figure out what to do with it. Light restoration and sell or part it out. Someone put a lot of time and $ into at one point, will depend on the motor more than anything. It also has a "rebuilt salvage" title, so that enters into it too. I suppose I could turn my 73 into a Turbo-look shorthood.
Pics from the trip, a thankfully uneventful adventure.
Diner in NY for lunch. Excellent crab cake sandwich. I had HIGH hopes for a Diners, Drive-ins and Dives trip, sadly, most of the food was good, but nothing show-worthy.
Snacks. The cherry soda was like drinking super sweet nyquil or a liquid form of Bank of America cherry lollipops.
Farmland in West Virginia. Pictures at speed can be a challenge.
I have always taken pictures of bridges, have a ton of them. This was a great bridge.
Car in storage since 1997. I had just moved from Chicago to NYC that year. Ages ago now.
Car on the trailer. The Featherlight rocked!
Stopping to get gas, we found this beauty in PA. Took a ton of pics, one of them will be a shirt design for Spring 14.
Love the chain drive! Any idea on year?
My co-pilot for the trip, made it everything what it was. I wish I could take more trips with more friends. Pic here at a steakhouse in PA.
GW Bridge, from here, felt we were already home.
