    No Idea what happened to them, but in High School I worked at a Pizza Shop across the street from one - I remember on payday I would walk across the street and see what I could blow my money on - I still have a STACK of receipts from that place - it'd be interesting to see what they'd total up to.

    Do you remember the black 65 chevelle with the slicks 5spd and a wicked sounding small block in it? That was one bad ass street car.
     
  6. I gave my son an old black midwest t-shirt about a year ago. It's one of his favorites.
