Over 20 years. I tore her down in about 2000. Then I had three more children, got my MBA, coached many kids sports, moved once and finally got her done.

Yep, I got her from the original owner with 2 studded snow tires, one Cooper and the original Firestone Wide Oval spare on it.

I too had a "winter beater" in 1980 complete with snow tires and a couple hundred pounds of sand bags in the trunk.

That's funny, I bought my 73 back in the day from the original owner in the middle of summer with snow tires on the back.

Yep a Kansas City DSO. The original owners sent their three kids to Kansas University in it. Sot the first one had the original paint and the other 2 got a fresh paint job on it to go to school. Midwest winters, teen drivers, and obviously a few boo boos. Notice the crooked exhaust pipes. That’s because one of them drove over something that tore the #1 crossmember and bent the exhaust as they ran over it. The interior was nice though.
