She almost lived to be 100. She was born in 1899. She had my mother late in life and I was born when my mother was slightly over 40. Unfortunately we inherited that piece of quality engineering. I got driven to school in that for a couple years. Probably why I'm very picky about cars..lol.

True story too. Can you beleive that was stolen and totaled?..lol. I don't think parts where highly in demand for it. You could definately go to a junkyard and have your pick of parts.

You must be scarred from riding in that. No I can't believe someone stole it, and how could they total it? They never got over 25mph.

I was lucky enough to work at a large Chevy dealer in the 1980's. I was in this GM college degree progam - ASEP. We had to work in every area of service - including Heavy Line - engine overhaul. Me and my buddy got this shitbox, and the engine mounting bosses broke while it was on the engine stand.

That thing hit the floor with quite a sound, and 40 other techs looking right at us - classic. We used washers to bolt the engine back into the car. Then the check engine light kept coming on, and we just took the bulb out! Worked!

I don't think they wrecked it, it was more like they took parts and lit it on fire.
So, totaled in a sense that it was marked as a loss on insurance.
Funny story btw. I wouldn't trust those lights back then anyway. My friends came on constantly for no apparent reason. Besides it was a chevette. i'd be suspicous if the lights did NOT come on.

We used to call them Shove-it's... but I had a friend that used to tell girls that he owned a vette. It was funny when they actually saw it...
