Re: some thoughts on my past snobberies

[Jimmie <jimmieam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a brand new 1969 Swinger 340 4-speed.  I ordered it from the factory.  In 
January of 1971, I got married, got out of the Army, and went back to school 
(UC) all in the space of 2 weeks.  As a newly married college student trying to 
make it on the GI Bill, I just couldn't afford the Dart anymore (or so I 
thought....)  So I traded it in on a 1971 Datsun 1200!..   Now have to admit, 
the Datsun was a great car.  Kept it over 20 years, but I missed my Dart...hence 
now having a 1970 Dart Swinger 340 4-speed to go with my '65 Bel Wagon.

Take care,
