My parents bought her in 1972 brand new in Mountain View, California. She's been all over California and Oregon. I've driven her from Corvallis, OR, to Charleston, SC, in three & a half days in 1990 when she had a 1641cc engine in the middle of January (I don't recommend it!) through the southern half of the US. Upon my honorable discharge from the Navy I drove her back home to Corvallis from Charleston through the middle part of the US in mid April. I burned a valve in Colorado, so she was running only on three cylinders the rest of the way home. But she did it! That trip was about five days.

I've put blood, sweat & tears (both in her and me...) into this baby and I ain't NEVER lettin' her go. She was a daily driver from 1972 to about 1998 but now she's retired and more of a sunny weather driver.
