Let's not fight about this. I was about 16-17 years old and the "IIRC" was meant to inticate that I do not recall exactly what year he stated. Could have been 42 could have been 48. All I rememebr was it looked bone stock from 5' away, wire wheels and all. Sounded like a rattly old four cyl too. I had ignored it for years till I got close enough to see the white interior and did a double take as I knew that was not stock! Then I just talked to him, now I'd make him open the hood!!! -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrac II " I realize that death is inevitable.
