Yes, I drive it whenever I get the chance. I am taking it to our first drag races of the year on September the 4th to race.

I managed to run a 13.08 @ 108.9mph, a lot of fun in a 4 speed.

I go through my whole life and never see that color til last week. And then today at a cruise night I see this:

Steve, that shade of green was actually used by all 4 divisions in 1972. Oldsmobile called it Radiant Green, Pontiac called it Julep Green, Buick called it Heritage Green, and Chevrolet called it Spring Green. I just saw a 72 Buick GS in Heritage Green at a car show last week, and a 72 Firebird in Julep Green at another show.

Some people call this color "Scope Green" after the famous mouthwash. Some people love it, some people hate it. I actually like it!
