In April 1978 ,I met a guy that had a 69 Fastback ,He lived just a few miles from me .But his car was in Warsaw Virginia over 10 hours away .We decided to go get it ,he would give it to me if I took out the 351 4v motor for him ,I said ok . So off we went ,after we got there we tried to start it , took a while but it did start He drove it around a little and a piston went through the side of the block .Well he didn't want the motor any more So I got to keep the hole car it was rust free with over 100,000 miles on it . (Cool ,We don't have to many rust free cars up north ). I towed it with a tow bar all the way home . Changed the motor to a 302 2v and got rid of it . I took the money and bought the next car and so on and so on that's how I got to have so many cars !
