My first car was a 1975 Plymouth Gran Fury. Dad said he would buy my first car so he bought a car that was just sitting on uncle Ed's farm.

When we picked it up there was a mouse nest below the air cleaner and it was getting three miles per gallon. I spent some time with uncle Lewis on his farm who removed the four barrel carburetor and the intake manifold (which he called a battleship), he cleaned the ports on the manifold and put everything back together. Cleaning those ports improved the mileage on that 400 cubic inch engine to 12 miles per gallon. Looked just like this one below.



Took this car on the highway to the Whitefish Lake where instead of using the campground where a friend's trailer was on the south shore, friends from high school and I went to the little used east shore campground on the Goodfish Lake indian reserve. Part of the campground was new and a little away from the beach area and even less used. Lots had been cut which we didn't use, instead we just parked the vehicles, camped, cooked, and partied on the trail. Big fire's, loud music, and good times there. On a return trip home the vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy intersection on the highway at Fort Saskatchewan and we had to get out and push it to clear the intersection to the shoulder, afterward the engine started and we continued the trip.
