Greeting from Lemmon, SD. I still have my '69 I bought new in 1968. Kept it all these years and still drive (over 200,000). A great car. Swapped out the Torqueflite for a 700R4 and changes the gears so I get better gas mileage. Should have made the change years ago. The rpm's dropped with all the changes, but it still walks up the hills with little effort. With all the changes I haven't the courage to see how fast it will go.
