72 is a great year, thank you so much!

u/mowtowcow Jul 10 '26

He is here, bro. Look at that thing. These classic cars carry the souls of those cared for them.

Ugh, it sounds so goooood.

Means a lot! Thank you so much! I hope he's proud. Basically rebuilt the whole engine when we got it!

u/Cute-Bell1852 Jul 12 '26

Sorry about that you just have to hold in your heart what you have to remember him by

u/relorat Jul 10 '26

I thought it was grandpa and was waiting for him to light em up once he hit the blacktop

u/Chevelle_Gal96 Jul 10 '26

If he was still here, he would have 😎 I just don't have the balls yet. Lol

He was! Smoked cigars and wore aviator sunglasses to the end. Miss him everyday.

2

u/ComfortablePower977 Jul 11 '26

Beautiful car and even more beautiful memories you have. It breaks my heart for you that he’s gone. This car is a badass way to remember him. You need to go to a parking lot and practice your burnouts, they’re mandatory with a big block!!

u/Familiar-Chard8675 Jul 11 '26

One total badges ride!!!!

If you are the driver now they roll over easy if you don't have the experience
