Today wasn't bad, 2 cars, one a '71 Camaro RS/SS, real nice shape.  The other a '76 Vette, white, tan interior with Dukes of Hazzard style turbine rims.

The Vette was at Target late at night.  Figure the store was closing and thought the owner would come out and chit chat a little.  Turns out 2 women came up to the car and hopped in. 

Talk to them a bit and the owner, look a little tom boyish, looked under the car by the front suspension, looked under the other side and, came back on the driver's side and said, "The bearings hanging low, must've been when we hit that big bump."  :faint:  I kid you not...

That's when I figured I should get out of the car and help them out.  Turns out it was power steering hoses hanging low.  How she got bearing I'll never know...  :dunno:

I'll post pics of the cars when I get a chance.  Sorry, no pics of the girls.  :icon16:

Maybe she knew that hose had something to do with adjusting her compass heading.

Yeah, just last week they replaced those special Vette muffler bearings...  :grinno:

Sorry, I only saw the Cuda with the sunroof once. It was stored in a barn, and the car disappeared when the property sold. It was medium blue, buckets, console, had the white stripe down the side, and a bit rough. The headliner was hanging down. Sorry, no pictures.
