Hey moose! My car was sold in 1968 from a dealer in Waterloo, still close to home as I'm in Des Moines.

68lover 04-18-2010 05:16 PM

Well, so far I've:

- Brought it home.
- Did short inventory.
- Cleaned some of the grease off.
- Drank beer and gawked.

It's finally warm out though, we'll see what happens this year.

How's yours?
