The day I got the keys...

I did not buy it, but my longtime friend did. It was fall of '68 down in S Ga at Tifton. He just turned 21 and we were in college at Abraham Baldwin Ag College. They later dropped the AG off the name. He had ordered a new 68 Ply Sport Sat. 383 4 speed F3 green, with gold vinyl top and interior. He would not order a Roadrunner as he thought such was childish! I guess a GTX would have cost a few $ more!? It came in and he had me drive him over to Albany about 30 mi away to pick it up. He was all proud..... I gave a chit. I went on over another 30 mi. to home to put another ride on a colt I had recently bought, and then head back to school. I had much rather been home than school. At that time, life was either school or toting a rifle in Nam. I figured I would get drafted sooner or later.
It was a nice car. Sometimes we would trade, I 'd drive the Sat. and he had my pickup. Think it had something to do with a girl and the truck. We went all the way from first grade thru cow college.
He told me a few years back, " that sure was a pretty car!!!!" I agreed, even though many today would prefer something more flashy. Green was big in '68!
He passed a few years back at age 68, too much darn booze for the liver.
