Good to see you found the car you have been looking for DaveWM ! !

I'm sure there were many very cool cars in our teachers parking lots, but
the two I remember most, were these, and It's mostly because I had seen
them up close, as I use to talk to these teachers quite a bit, and back then
kids were allowed in the teachers parking lots. I bet they don't let that happen
anymore.....

A number of teachers I had - had cars that were worth watching when they
drove in ! In Middle School I had an english teacher with a '74 Mustang, they
had just come out I thought they were neat. Another later on in HS had a Black
2 Door Aspen or Volar'e with the RT or some Sport package that included a
225 Super-6 and a 5 speed, bucket seats, he brought it around the auto shop
and we got to see him drag it around the parking lot with the shop teacher's
'70 Impala 350 3 speed on the steering column. Fun stuff I bet you will never
see again at any HS..... Anyone know if there is still auto-shop in HS ??
