This is my first car, Christine. She is an early August 79 build date (of course she's a Leo) from Canada.
She started life as a Squire sold in December 1979.
She has the 2.8, C4 with a 6.75" rear end with 3:18 gears.
She has options including map light, A/C, PS, PB and protection group.
In January 80, she was involved in a BAD accident and totaled. Two years later, she was somehow back on the road.
A few months after that, she was involved in a worse accident than the first and totaled again.
She was then back on the road a few months later, I have no idea who keeps fixing this car?
She was put up for sale in March, 1997, the same day I got lost going to my friends house.
I stumbled upon this weather-beaten, banged up Squire wagon.
It Barely ran, the transmission fell out of gear, no interior electrical worked except for
the blower which shot a pine needle into my eye the first test drive that later turned
into a test PUSH.
The interior was trashed and smelled of rotten meat and there seemed to be blood on the head liner.
The doors didn't close correctly, and she smoked.
I had to have it!
Later that week, I drove home (My dad was amazed she made it) my first Pinto.
A couple years later, well, she was a distant memory of what she used to be.
She has been to hundreds of shows and driven all over the USA.
I've racked up a couple hundred thousand miles, driven me to work and school every day.
She's gotten me dozens of dates from girls who felt a real man drives a station wagon.
I love this car and even after 12 years, I never get tired of driving her.
