'67, nice!   What engine and tranny?  I had a 64 1/2 262 automatic convertible years ago.  I had a girlfriend, apartment and the car but couldn't afford all of them so I sold it (the car that is!)    I married the girlfriend so I guess it was the right decision but man do I wish I still had that car!

If you have a good marriage, then you definitely made the right choice! Old cars are fun but at the end of the day they're just things. Mine was a rusty basket case when I found it in 1994, but it was loaded for that era: front disc brakes, factory a/c, power top, and more. Still has the original 289, but the old 3-speed automatic was replaced ten years ago with an AOD. Having that 4th gear is superior in every way. The car has a lot of other modifications now, including Dakota Digital instruments and cruise control, among other things.
