So, my story. My VIP belonged to a neighbor about 2 miles away. I can remember being 6 or 7 and playing in the car at their house. It ran then, (1976-77) but they rarely drove it. Then in 85 my neighbor died and his wife sold the car to my dad. He found out the car had a cracked block. He was gonna scrap it, but I was turning 16 in January and told my dad I would never ask him for another vehicle ever, if I could have it. So in Jan. 1986 it was mine. And still is to this day. Currently in Body and paint. I restored it in 1989 and it lasted 20+ year. These pics are from before 2010.
