RE: snobbery of the two door-me and my 4 door SEDAN

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I drive my 64 4 dr. Belvedere more than my 65 Belv2 vert (2 dr. btw!).
I get horn beeps (today's cars have wimpy horns), thumbs up, and lots of
conversations.

I can wait until I stroke the poly (got most of the pahts), dual quad (got,
w/o carbs) or triple deuce (got w/carbs), put on the ceramic tti headers
(got) with 3" exhaust (no got), 3.23 SG rear (have), front discs (got most
of it) and 15x8 steel wheels (got 'em) with the original dog dishes (gots
'em 2).  Can you say "sleeper"?

Just put it away for the winter, 43602 on the clock, all original.

Mopars Rule (and so does Earl)!

I've been for a ride in a '62 Dart 4-door owned by a certain young man
in this clubhouse, and I can tell you that his car got more looks then a
naked gopher.
