........drove it the hour home down Hiway 401 w/ a dealer plate flapping, a leaking gastank and no brakes! .
Obviously foolish now but seemed to make perfect sense back then...even took it up over 100 mph on route! .

Although much safer really than the run in the Oldsie, I remember hanging the dealer plate on the back of the Super Late Model Camaro stock car one afternoon and running it about 10 miles up Hiway 12 between our shop in Brooklin Ontario and the paint shop in Manchester...even wore my helmet, safety first you know! .

Congrats on the '70 W30...is it a post car? .

I bought a '70 442 Post car in Toronto about 25 years ago and drove it the hour home down Hiway 401 w/ a dealer plate flapping, a leaking gastank and no brakes! .

The car is hardtop. Sold new at Central Motors in London. Paperwork also had business cards of "Performance Sales Manager" and "Hi Performance Technician". The car was in the London area for all its life.
