Took the old girl out for its first spin as mine and for its first tank of petrol. Had to settle for ethanol-laced petroleum, but I did some guesstimating and figure that if I drive this car 20-50 miles per week, I doubt that a tank will last much more than 6 weeks or so, depending on MPG - which is not why I bought it.


I think that fuel tank is about 20 gallons, it filled slowly, as I recalled it would. Ten point five or so of the 87 stuff. Then we went for a wee cruise.


It's got a bit of git-up-n-git, a pleasant surprise. Not much road noise. No rattles. It has less of a floaty feeling at 50 MPH than my old '65 Polara did. Brakes are adequate. And I have an excuse to go out later, too.


Poor thing sure could use another gear . . . .
