My mom said if I got anything from them, it would be the current Dodge Aspen station wagon she was driving @ the time. "If that wasn't good enough, you can use your own money & buy what you want". Task accepted.
I started mowing more yards & worked (under-age) @ a fast-food restaurant as a grunt.
I wound up buying a pretty cool '64 Chevy short-step w/a SBC/4spd Muncie combo. It wasn't that Holy-Grail '70 SS454 (I would have settled for a SS396  ) or a '69 Camaro, but I'd say I did all-right.
I'm building my current '64 like I wanted back then as a 16yr old w/o any resources. With 'Time' doing it's thing, the list has been amended  . |
Dodge Aspen wagons have their...uses...ahem.
