Backstory

My first car. A 1963 Belvedere wagon purchased during my senior year in high school, from her original owner for $75 in 1978. By the time I got done with her she was sporting a '64 hemi scoop, black paint, blacked out windows, ET mags and a custom interior. All done by me, on the tight budget of a teenager of course.

She was dubbed the Draggin' Wagon dragon wagon by my friends but I called her Lynda.

When her transmission failed two years later and I couldn't find anyone that could repair the twenty year old push button automatic, I traded her for a '73 Satellite.

A stupid move.
