Re: 68 RS/SS396 Little Old Lady...
Yeah, I asked her if she's sick of guys wanting to buy it from her. I did see the "375" on the chinsy repop air cleaner lid and just for a nano-second thought "No way, L78." Car is very cool but kinda' rough in places. As for the gas, she did say the engine "knocks" going up hills on the Chevron Supreme.

The mechanics love to put the alternators on the wrong side of the bracket.

Re: 68 RS/SS396 Little Old Lady...
YUP that is her.
I followed her till my exit in the SNOW in 2013 over by Mukilteo a few years back. I was trippin' cause my South Tacoma Motors (Chev) car is very similar. Jim

I ran across a 69 daily driver in CT a few years back. There's a 69 and a 56(?) T-bird in San Diego that I see driven when I visit. All elderly women that have had the cars for years. None were hipo cars like this one though...
