CV 2683. All journeys start with a first step. I bought this off the back of a used car lot in Connecticut in 1983 or so when I was in college. Last registered in 1989. It's been stored in a barn in PA the last 30 years. I rescued it this weekend, the house was being sold and moved it to New Hampshire where I now live. My middle school aged son and I are going to start working in earnest on it hopefully this spring. Firethorn red, 5 speed, factory stereo, tan interior. Those first New England winters have left rust, but not overwhelming. The interior is in shockingly good condition, I was expecting a mouse ravaged mess. The first priority will be mechanical, having not run for so many years it will be a long process. Having belonged to this group has renewed my enthusiasm, I am looking forward to working with my son to get her back on the road. I will be looking for lots of advice and encouragement!!
