And it's impossible to find anyone willing to do that kind of work - unless you happen to know someone like my coworker did. My Pontiac ran just fine - and I know I can never get another one.

And I'm pretty sure that my Dad had a Plymouth Fury - though I think it was a '72? My Dad was not a car guy, though. I inherited his 1977 Dodge Diplomat when I couldn't drive the Duster anymore back in the late '80s. That car ran very smoothly, but those were especially prone to rust. *sigh*

And your car sounds very cool - I often see cars of that vintage around here because they have frequent car shows in Lake George. But I'm willing to bet that the gorgeous cars I see didn't come from here originally.
