Blue

Car dealership I worked for took her in on trade from (I think) the original owner. I bought her from them for $350. Rode for about a season. Next season had a buddy change all the fluids and tune her up. Then the shift linkage broke and she sat in my garage for about 3 years. Had a mechanic that worked for me that offered to fix it for me. Got her back from him all fixed up in spring of 2017. Then I promptly broke her again when doing the pickup coil mod. Had to pull the engine to get the stator cover off and replaced which was an adventure. But it gave me the time to also rewire and make a few upgrades. Pulled and sandblasted the battery box and painted it while I was at it, now she's back on the road just in time for winter. She had 11,000 miles when I got her and is just shy of 14,000 now, four years later. But next spring we will be putting a LOT of miles behind us.
