Another item off the bucket list....

[mmissile]

Went to a car-show in Richmond today. While registering, the woman at the table was talking on the phone to another person running the festivities. She said they had to get a car for the former "Little Miss Richmond" winners. I told her I had a ragtop. She asked if it was the beautiful green one?? I said it's green and pretty nice. She told the guy on the phone...."we got it handled". So, today I drove a couple women in a parade......


This is the largest parade in Michigan. I was in it for 45 minutes, drove 15 minutes to get back to the lot I was at, then watched 45 more minutes of the parade. The Richmond "Good Old Days" is a slice of pure-Americana. Farm country, with old values and hard-working people.

Your Cuda is just gorgeous!

The women were of middle-age and older. Not exactly what most people are thinking....
Super nice women, but not there as sex symbols. We had fun.

"I said it's green and pretty nice."

I like your modesty sir, but it's green and fantastic!

Btw, nothing's wrong with having fun with fun folks.

I was expecting a picture in the parade as well. Not expecting sex symbols but good ole folks enjoying a parade.
That ride is awesome! Do you have a build thread on the cuda somewhere?

Here you go, great thread too!

Ma's `cuda. A long time coming.

This is the start of my resto-mod project. My mother/dad bought this N-code, `cuda ragtop in Jan of 1972, from a bank repo-auction. It's an original F8/F8 car with a white top and stripe delete. The motor had been frozen[ice], and the car never ran cool. Finally, my father got into the engine...
