My Grandma has been gone for quite a while but if I took her for a ride in the Boss she would smile or at least hang on for dear life..

"Nor, at a curb weight of 2560 pounds, for a hardtop, is it a lightweight"

Times have certainly changed.

Jeff, Was it a 6 with an auto or a 289 4 spd....I think I know the answer...I give her credit for buying one

Bob it was 42+ years ago . She lived in Torrance Ca and I lived in Boston Ma area and I was 19. It was a short visit to my grandparents on my way back home from Kodiak Alaska. I think it was 1 day. More than likely it was a 6 with auto.
