The best view of all.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

You are doing 65 mph.  Put the phone down and grab the steering wheel! ;D

65mph at only 2000 RPM? AND the temperature is showing stone cold.

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

Awesome view.  it’s got to be a blast to drive with the tasteful mods you made. I put 16k miles on my convertible in 14 years of ownership.

make sure your wipers work, mine have two speeds, streak and smear
In Downtown DC on Memorial Day
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

Streak and smear. Lol.  Try a good coating of Rain X.  It saved me once before when I got caught in old red during a torrential downpour.
