I have boxes of photos from my dads boats , Sangers and Brendella, Hondo boats . His boats were Jokers Wild, White Mist, Shakey.. Oakland is bout 15 mins from where we lived in Moraga at that time. I can pull out the pics and records and reel movies. Back when i was still in diapers, Blown Fuel Flat Bottoms were a wild ride. I remember him blowing up motors and running to local Mopar dealer and buying a few Cudas and Chargers and Challengers scrapping the whole car except for motors.
What a waste to toss out the classics like that. LOL |
