Yeah, that car used to belong to Dale Schmidt from Langenberg. He bought it from some hillbilly friend of his. It used to have an upside down grain shovel pop riveted to the hood for a scoop. Lots of good mile put on that car. I'll look to see if I can find pics of it when it was all red and had the scoop. He had Torque Thrusts on it when he had it. Does it still smell like spilt beer??? :)
my wife made my throw out the Garter belt hanging from the mirror when I got it. It's like a tie capsule.. If it sets in the heat all day...now that you mention it , it has a unique smell !! LOL !

Sanity did prevail after all, good i am glad. Hopefully someone will restore that car and not do something that will get them into Poncho HELL. Over the many years i have seen real junk fixed up. When i see clean cars being basterdized just because they have an extra set doors, it makes me......... well lets not get into it right now. It is a happy ending after all, i hope. Hopefully it wont have to be too lonely for too long. Cheers. George.
