    Hit another milestone!
    « on: May 04, 2015 - 04:59:11 PM »
    Went out today in the hardtop and happen to look down at the right time and have a camera sitting next to me!  80K doesn't seem like much and I assume that to be original mileage but not sure . . . . bought the car in 1982, 9 years old at the time, was sitting in a garage and the owner had been drag racing the car.  I got it with the odometer reading 47K . . . 33 years later and it just hit 80K.   :screwy:   I guess someone could of put 147K on the car in 9 years but I doubt it.  When I bought the car, it had 4.11 gears, that would be interesting  . . . driving over 100K with 4.11's!   :grinno:  Interesting that I have owned the car for 33 years and have only put 33K on it!     :eek7:

    A couple pictures from today!

    Cool update.
    Is that considered a big milestone or small?

    Bought my 74 Challenger in 83 with 185,000 miles on it. 33 years later got around 240k. Sounds (and feels) about right.

    Hmmm I just finished high school and bought this my last year right before graduation and to be 9 would of been quite the task accomplishment, good thought though . . .  :2thumbs: lol the car was 9 years old!

    i hadta re-read it after thinking the same thing.

    nice work. car looks great too.

    weird that you were able to catch it....

    if only i'd look down at my instruments more often... e.g. the gas gauge on my Riviera .... coupla side of the road fill-ups I'm embarrassed to admit

    Awesome Dave!  I love that you have had the car this long and enjoyed it!  I bet there are many milestone's and memories in those 33 years and 33,000 miles.   :2thumbs:
