The biggest benefit I can see is that he can't drive fast or drag race like he would proabably like to, I know he's got a lead foot?

Anyone think that it's too old of a car? Or should he just be happy as hell?

Shoot, my first car was a 200.00 rusted out 68 Tempest so I would haev loved it.

Give it to him. If he don't like it, tell him to buy his OWN car with his own insurance. That's pretty cool, I think as my dad told me to get a job and get my own car, lol.

Well, that's half true, he sold me his old Torino cheap so I ended up with that, 4bbl Cleveland, 4 speed 72 Gran Torino Sport fastback. Cool car, I miss it still.

He bought another one with a 429 and a automatic. If you guys don't know where my hot rod soul came from, now you do.

PS,
My 4 speed Cleveland was faster, take that old man, lol.
