Admiral at work

[Big_John]

My haulin' story iz not about ah LONG ROOF but ah '63 valiant V-200. When I waz chasin' thick wall 440z thru' the mid-late '80z, I'd pull into ah bone yard where I'd found one and quickly remove the 4 boltz that held the decklid on the hingez, open one of the back doorz and slide the decklid slide in on the floor and close the door and tell them to drop a fully dressed 440 into the trunk and then the fun would start. Man you'll never get outa the yard, It'll break the springz. waz heard often. I'd insist and they'd finally do it after sayin' we warned yeah! They could see that I had a piece of 1/2" plywood covering the trunk floor but what they didn't see and I never told 'um was that I had ah set of Gabriel air shocks on the back end that I'd pumped up to 90lbs before I left the ponderosa to retrieve the engine. They'd drop whole engine, headz, exhaustz, and all in the trunk and the little beast wouldn't even squat. I'd just push the "D" button and drive on out, smilin' all the way home. The Batwagon waz never called on to preform those dutyz how ever, but one of the 5 enginez I hauled home waz ah '67 Imperial thick wall, forged crank that preformed well under the Batwagoz hood! BTW, That V-200 waz my D.D. for almost 6 yearz, lol

LOL! I did the same thing!

Except the guys here will probably shoot me when I tell them it was a SFGT that I used. The car was pretty beat up and just another car at the time, so I wasn't messing up something nice.

Thanks Will, I don't feel so bad about sitting on that pretty back seat anymore (while I was unwashed). I don't think I could do what you do in her... fortunately I have other/lesser vehicles these days. In the past I did some awful stuff moving crap... I always try to keep a roll of duct tape in the drivers.

No, just a former CA. hippy. And with my hair getting longer everyday, the better I fit in. I just got to get it registered so I can blast the snot out of those CA. plates with a million holes!

The Admiral is one of, if not the hardest working C Bodies around this place. Towing, camping, hauling... just as intended. The incredible part is how nice Will keeps her.
