[T3] Subject: OLD V-DUBS... TO JIM A. ...Re:

[J L Stamey]

Josh, not Joe, Jim, no biggie, big list, lots of folks, etc.
Nope was never workign on FI. MY 68, german delivery notch, had dual
soloxes at birth, but over the years she was converted to dual weber 34
ICT's.
She's running real good! Took her on a grocery/pharmacy/get dinner run last
night. While I was at little ceasers, I came out and two old, I mean OLD
ladies, 70-75ish years old, in a roughly 80 GMC 1500 truck, we surounding
my car, when I was walking up they really were interested in what it was,
"we've never seen one of those before", a long conversation was started.
They were nice, and very curious. It's fun.
"What you say about these old cars is absolutely correct. Those still
on the road are the very tail end of the bell curve.", shoot Jim... I hope
my car has many many years to go! She has some issues, buttons, , horn not
working, etc. etc. etc. lol.... She's only driven maybe once, twice, 3
times tops, a week. Just short trips mainly, 5 miles each "run". I traded
my '67 13 window deluxe Bus for her in 10/08 to a guy in Tampa FL. Since
10/08, She's been driven maybe 2000-2500 miles!! ODO doesn't work, but I,
along with y'alls help fixed the speedo a few years. Here's my girl, so you
can tie a face to a name/car, Jim. Oh, and I'm in the Richmond, VA area.

Here she is, in all her glory. :)

Thanks Jim, and everyone else, you've all helped me many many times!!! This
list is soooo beneficial!! Like I said, I hope to be driving her on those
grocery runs 'til 2030, maybe even longer!! :O
Thanks again, to one and all!
Happy Friday brothers... and sisters! Have a good day, and a better weekend!
:)

Hey Joe, nice to hear from you and to learn that you're on the list.

What you say about these old cars is absolutely correct. Those still
on the road are the very tail end of the bell curve.

Where are you these days, what are you up to, and are you still in
the FI wiring harness business?

Jim
