    The car did very well considering it has 4:11 and a very loose stall.averaged 15mpg .I've got a lentech aod to go in after the meet and power steering(the wifes car).

    The sprint is not that great it has rust in both 1/4's and the inside is very rough.

    I won't be in Joplin until Friday morning for the cruise.

    Judging by the pictures, you were up my way! I know the history on that Sprint and have asked them if it's for sale. It's not - last time I asked.

    I'm not sure if I'm leaving Thursday evening or Friday morning. Maybe we can drive together if it's Friday.
