I've never heard it before,yeah, and I didn't watch the
movie, so I did not know.
And I'm not going to apologize.
I mean, obviously we can talkabout it.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I'm a teacher, so I
really can't talk too much about
that to my students.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
And they don't know
so it's fine and you can't say

mother did.
It's all right, but she hadgood intentions.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I'm sure yes, she did
.
Speaker 1 (02:45):

I like it.
So the 78 Pontiac.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I like it.
Thank you.
So how did you acquire this car?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So I have been in
love with Hot Rod since I was
young.
I wasn't the typical girl thathad singers on their walls.
I had the middle fold out ofthe Hot Rod magazines in my car,
I mean in my house, and I usedto Did you staple them to the
bedroom wall, like my headboard,the headboard I had?
it on my headboard.
(03:28):
There you go, yeah and um.
So I was always in love withcars, but that wasn't something
that I could I could fulfill,you know.
So I had a boy that I reallyliked.
I actually went to school,graduated here in granbury and
really grew up in glenrose but Igraduated here in granbury and
there was a boy that I reallyliked will not say his name and
(03:48):
he had a 69 Camaro, fell in lovewith the car more than I did
the story okay, love the car.
So I grew up I wanted a hot rod.
I really did, couldn't ever do.
It ended up marrying my love ofmy life over here and he had
his own vehicle and I'm like, ohgosh, I want one, I want one.
(04:09):
Well, we've been looking, butthe prices of 69 Camaros are
ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
On teacher's salary.
You can't afford one.
So we were looking around andone of our car club members, his
brother, was selling this TransAm.
This Trans Am had been put up Iforget how long it was put up
For about five years, you saidand he had it in storage.
He redid this car back in the2000s.
(04:35):
He did it all himself, hedidn't put any bondo on it and
it was a hail damage car.
He got all of that out andredid it for his son and his son
had a tragic accident andwasn't able to drive this car.
So it's been in his shop and hewould start it up every so
(04:55):
often and he was like you know,I really need to sell this car
Cut ties with it Cut ties withit.
So he said I just want you to beable to um go ahead and use it
and make it better.
So we went ahead and bought itand we changed up some things on
it and I will never want a 69camaro.
(05:16):
I've fallen in love with thiswith this if you don't see a lot
of them, especially in thewhite with the black decals on
it yeah um, because it did haveblue decals and we turned around
and changed it out.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Um, we did you know,
it looks better like this I
believe I like it well the, theblack insets on the grill and
the other black touches on it.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It looks great like
that plus, let's not leave out
the whataburger table tent ittook us a while to get that ate
a lot of hamburgers At least 77times and from what to
Whataburger?
Did you steal that?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
from.
We're borrowing it.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Borrowing it.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
You can buy them now.
You can buy them online.
You can Through the Whataburgersite.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, Well, actually,
if you turn it in, I think they
give you two Whoppers orwhatever.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
That's a different
burger place, whatever, Not
going to do that.
And the honeycomb wheels.
I like that.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Those are the year
ones.
Those are the newer ones ofthem.
Well, it's a beautiful car.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
You know.
To me the Pontiac Trans Am wasalways a luxury step above the
Camaro, and the Z28 inparticular the Z28, to me, was
more of a race car, Not thatthis couldn't keep up with it,
but this always had the luxurytouches in the interior.
So I get where you're comingfrom.
I had a friend of mine that hadone.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I did too.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
This is really nice.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
He had a blue one, 77
, I believe they're a little bit
heavier than the Camaro thesame year Camaro, so they ride a
little bit better, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Even if you get the
HD deep parts on it, it still
rides better.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Well, you know, and
and this is a 78, yeah, I just
love the car, it's beautiful.
Yeah, they actually drag racethis car.
This car was a drag race car,and so it it.
It.
It has all the suspensionunderneath, that's I mean when
it turns it turns and um so, butit had a four speed in it and
that that couldn't keep up withour car club.
For some reason it would go upinto the 4,000.
We couldn't keep up with ourcar club.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It wasn't a good
driver.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
It wasn't a good
driving it wasn't, so we went
ahead and put a Tremec in it,five-speed, so now it cruises.
It keeps up with everybody else.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Now it's almost like
it's got an overdrive in it.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It does yes yeah, it
was getting too hot when we were
trying to drive it with thatfour speed and we'd have to pull
over, and because we wereafraid we were going to do
something does it have the gearin the rear does it have the
original engine it?
Has a pony at 400 yeah in it.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Nice, yeah, and
that's what they were.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Drag racing they drag
race this yes, they did, they
did.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Do you drag race?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
She looks over there
and he says no, no.
I don't drag race.
The insurance man is listening.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
No, my other Camaro
that I had, I would race it.
I loved to race cars.
I did when I was growing up andtrashed a few of my parents.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Where did you get
this influence?
Was it from your dad?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know what?
Was he a hot rodder?
No, my dad wasn't, it was justI was the youngest of seven kids
and I had okay.
So I love to work, to be aroundpeople who worked on cars.
It's just something that Iloved and so, I don't know, I
just I would rather have hot rodmagazines, that I would.
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:25):

I found it on eBay.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
We're going to do the

Speaker 1 (23:05):
This is the tease for
the car.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Yeah, you found it on
eBay Found it on eBay, and back
when I was in high school, mybrother and I had to share a 60
Chevy four-door Bel Airsix-banger.
Nothing to it, yeah, and so Ialready knew when it come time
to buy another car.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You wanted something
different and big.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
I wanted a station
wagon.
I already knew I wanted astation wagon and I was looking
for a 60 Chevy.
And so I'd go on eBay andthey'd either be out of my
budget or projects which Ididn't want, which I didn't want
.
And so this particular day Ijust got lathed and tapped in a
(23:52):
1960 wagon.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Is it a Fairlane?
Speaker 5 (23:56):
It's a Ranch wagon.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Ranch wagon.
Yeah, like Ranch.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Water.
But Ranch wagon, the one thateverybody remembers is the
Country Squire.
That's the one that had all thewood on it.
Right, this is the cheapermodel in the wagon lineup, you
know.
But I liked it in that it gaveme blank signs to do what I
wanted to with it, you know,just like a big blank.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Yeah, with the
scallops on it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Yeah, so anyway.
But when I went on eBay and didthe 1960 wagon search and I was
going through the Ramblers andDodgies and whatnot and I was
looking for a Chevy and this onepopped up and I thought that's
got some good lines to it youknow, and it's massive.
