She hated it, but I had the car longer than I had known her. The guy I sold it to proceeded to get drunk, and plow it into a parked power company cherry picker trucks...bending it darned near in half and sending him to the hospital, where he was in a coma for a month.

My current wife has been searching with me for a replacement over the past 10 years, but finding it in the same two tone green with the 351W is proving almost impossible. There was one that was a worthy candidate, but after driving 6 hours to go see it, I saw that the rockers were rotted out, interior molded, and engine leaking fluid. The seller wasted my time, but at least the wife and I enjoyed the scenery on the way down there.
