my miles
Bought my 81 Special in 2002 with 9,000 miles , now at 53,475. That will be it for awhile sounds like I have a spun rod bearing.
My Vmax is getting all my attention these days, but will get er back up and running, moving in another motor.

My SF sat for 5 years at a hair over 41K before I rescued her 3 months ago. Now she's up to 42,500 and running beautifully.
I just pulled the tires off night before last...rear was 9 years old and the front was almost 11!
My Special is as old as I am.Comment
