1972 GMC SPRINT... A CALIFORNIA MACHINE, LICENSE # 05 073M
PICTURED HERE IN MARYLAND AROUND 1978. MOVED BACK TO CALIFORNIA IN '80 AND DUE TO CHANGING OCCUPATIONS AND OTHER THINGS IN 1990, I WAS FORCED TO TRADE HER IN FOR A NEW PICK-UP. THE MACHINE WAS GETTING TIRED AND NEEDED PAINT, SUSPENSION, ENGINE AND INTERIOR WORK.
I COULD NOT SEE A WAY TO KEEP IT UNLESS SHE WENT UP ON BLOCKS. SAW THE CAR SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WITH SOMEBODIES IDEA OF A FIX-UP. SHE BECKONED FOR ME TO SAVE HER... I JUST DROVE ON BY AND HAVE REGRETTED IT EVER SINCE.
I LITERALLY DROVE IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. WE HAD TRAVELED ACROSS THE USA SEVERAL TIMES AND I WAS NEVER LET DOWN... I FAILED IN THE END. THE ONLY UPLIFTING THOUGHT; EVERY CAR OR BIKE I HAVE TODAY, IS ROOTED TO THIS CAR.
