How cool!

Did your house survive the fire?

My house made it 1/2 mile away .. a lot of others weren't so lucky ! Mariposa strong !!!!!!!!!! It burned about 84,000 ac.

Welcome from another Cali guy!
Fires were horrible, still haven't heard from my rotisserie fella that lives up that way.

You'll love it on this forum.

I was in the Air Force but never at castle.

We just picked up a 68 coronet 500 convertible also. 318 car runs great.

Pics are in my signature below. Once I get the car more road-worthy, I'll take more pics (I'm an amateur photographer).

I have all of the pics on my website, but I thought I'd post a few here.

My uncle who owned the car originally.

Put red lines when I first got the car.

Trip to Yosemite. The last day I drove the car. It overheated and my mobility issues went south shortly after.

Most recent photo from about 12 years ago.

Me too. Kicking myself for not taking a picture of the car at the same gas station before I left for CA.
