I had a 70 Torino in High School way back when. Sold it for $500. Who knew?

When I was about 14 my parents sent me to spend summer vacation with my aunt and uncle. They owned a small Ford dealershipin a small town of Holly, Colorado. Their lucky nephew received delivery of his yellow Cobra Jet, I remember going for a ride thinking how cool I was riding in it, hearing the exhaust rumble getting pushed back in the seat every time he shifted gears, my first ride in a hot car. It was cool then and still today.
P.S. Thinking back he never went real fast not like me I would have tried to scare the crap out of a 14 year old.
