Made it to the first cruise in of the year

So after my car being down for a few months while it was getting the TKO swapped in, I finally managed to get it cleaned up and out to our towns first cruise in of the year. I'll say right off I spent hours upon hours getting it cleaned and then the whole day keeping it from turning yellow with all the pollen, but it turned out well. Managed to snap a couple pics. Only saw one other 71-73 car out there.

On a different note, I love this 5 speed. I think from here on out all my next projects will be overdrives, nothing like humming along at 70mph turning 1900 Rpms.

That 5 speed shifter looks damn good sitting there

Took a 120 mile round trip today and managed 17mpg running 70-75 mph. Little better than I expected from the ole 429!
