This is the earilest pic I have of Sassy!
Taken in 1974-5 it is in front of our first house.
I think it's high enough to called a 4x4 but
that is the way it was. Deep 8" chrome slots
stickin out of the cut up rear fenders .
Had to use shackles and air shocks to get it that high!
Thats the way I bought it from an 18 year old kid,
after all I was 21.
I will post lots of pics here so we'll see how fast
your internet is!lol

Do you relate?
In the early 60's I used to get little tin toy cars for Christmas and
my birthday. They had wind up motors in them and would zoom
across the floor, great fun,,,,,,for about an hour! Then , BROKE#^(*
Well thats when they needed to be repaired. So, armed with a
butter knife I proceded to unbend all the little tabs, usually about
1/2 of them broke and had it ALL APART in notime atall.
After dickin with it for an hour and usually cutting my finger DAD
would come to my aid. He could make it work abit, say something
about made in Japan and that was the end...
Well I never got over that take it apart syndrome and about a year
after we bought the Comet there it was all over the garage floor!!!!!!!!
But now I had to put it back together cause Dad got fed up with my
syndrome,
In this 77 pic it made it back to the lite of day and more importantly
the drag strip!
