Cletus again.
I flew to Florida to pick up a non-running 1969 AMC Rebel.  It's rare it's in own right - but this one is a one of a kind because MID ENGINE!  That's right - engine is in the FRONT SEAT!  Think I can get it running and drive 800 miles back home?

Speed limits not in yet? 
As a kid I remember speed trials on several local beaches. Not any more though!
