Oh Lordy, I now own a Fordy (a Lincoln actually)..

Steve, your Charger was a connection between myself, my father, my grandfather and other family member who worked on it at Suburban Dodge. When I came across the folder for your car, I shared it with my dad, grandfather and uncles. The stories they all told were priceless and will never forget the time we had together just sharing a common interest. I am glad to see that your son has the interest in learning about his great grandfather. The time you are spending with him now will stay with him forever.

Thanks John. We all have a lot of good memories with that car. We should have a &quot;family reunion.&quot; We can have it inside the Lincoln. Everyone could fit.

No, we don't throw anything away. My dad was cleaning out my old room the other day and found the original odometer statement from that 1971 hemicuda convertible I sold back in 1987. So I need to send that to the present owner.
