Sounds like a very sweet ride!

She's real fine, my 409...

Can you post some pics of the car?

Saw a TV show on cars one day where a 62 such as your father's was the guest of honor.

They did one shot where the car is off in the distance, but headed towards the camera man...
all of a sudden you hear the roar of the 409 and the car is almost to the camera man in no
time flat... the video fades to black partly as the camera man is literally diving out of the way!
