Yes it did Jed and a bag of sand in the front to keep some weight on the front wheels! it was a brilliant car and was very easy to maintain. it also handled snow and ice easily  Oh remembered a couple more cars!   Thats the lot now. |

They were very popular cars for rally enthusiasts at one time, rare as hens teeth now.

Hmm, First car was 1964.5 Mustang Convert. with a 260V8 , then there were numerous Vega GT's (74 thru 77), a few Pontiacs (65 GTO & Bonneville) a couple of merc's (50 and 51) a few Impalas (65 SS & a 63 4dr),Oh I even had a 59 caddy Coupe de Ville !!! I was really stylin then!! Haha, and I'm sure there were a couple others. I changed cars so often my friends had a joke, Was the it Empty, or Full? and I said whaaat??? the reply was, the gas tank empty or the ashtray full!!!
Now Just a an '06 Buick Lucerne (Lucy for short). Bought her in '10 with less than 75000 miles.
