Double Nickle, sort goes with the post listing. I think this was considered a "Salesman Special" as the original car came without a back seat, vinyl floors and three on the column. I put the back seat in for high school. Boys have needs you know!

Kinda funny, I drove my Grandma's Ford Falcon into Prospect Lake on a fishing trip with my Grandpa

I was 3ish and was pretending to drive, released parking brake and rolled down the hill into the water. My Grandpa was pretty awsome, we towed the car home, drained / changed all fluids and it ran just fine. Always smelled a little off though. He never yelled at me or nuthin

I only wish I could have the kind of patience with children. I sure miss him.
