When I was about 4 I remember my dad taking me along to visit some friends Von and Jenny. I don't remember why my Mom didn't come along, she usually did when we went to visit the Hayflea's. Von and Jenny were out in the garage behind the house working on his very fast Gremlin. I will never forget the scene. Von was working away and Jenny was handing him tools. It was like watching a surgeon and his nurse. His tools were always clean as brand new and put away neatly. I don't think he ever touched one without it being handed to him by his wife. They stopped working long enough to share a coffee break with Dad, then went right back to work.

It was 1964.

Indeed a very nice car!

I completely agree G-meister, and I have them sitting in my condo, sans tires. I want to get some more use out of the existing rubber before making the switch.

Good choice!

Cup wheels, a tiny bit of lowering and your car is perfect.
If I hadn't invested so much in my car, i'd be looking for a low milage 964.
