Here's the only sentimental things about this car, for me;
When I was driving back and forth between Modesto and Fresno, while my mom was dying, I saw this car. I just so happens to have been sold new in Fresno, and that's also where my mom passed away at a house my brother and sis-in-law were renting.

Also, based on a somewhat recent parking pass on the windshield, the previous owner worked at the hospital in Turlock where my step-dad eventually passed away when he was getting prepped for amputation surgery.

Finally, I've spent my last bit of inheritance $$ on the work you see.

So there's 3 things about this car that is significant to me, with some interesting coincidences, I think.

And besides it looking neat to me, it's loaded with a lot of nice stuff like a 440 with power steering, brakes, A/C and cruise control.

I will probably put off the engine, transmission and differential upgrades until next year, just to work out of some debt I've gone into for this thing.

Still, I hope to do a little this year with it
