Saying goodbye to an old friend

My favorite all time car.

I had a 440 6bbl second hand. Met the guy in Navy ET-A school at Treasure Island, he was in B school. We have stayed in touch in some way since. I had not seen him since about 76 or so, and this last summer he came up here to buy an new Dodge/ Cummins, so we got to meet for lunch.

I WISH I had that car, I cannot afford a B
This faded old photo taken about 73--74. Had a 340 swapped in by now
