Once I had everything electrical die except for the light in the trunk. Got it home, pulled the screws from the dash and started to look for any sign of electrical activity. While poking around with a voltmeter, I noticed a wire to the light on one of the gauges started to char and bubble. It worked its way up the wire like a fuse into a wire bundle and stopped. The little bell telling me the key was in the ignition and the door was open started to chime.

Everything worked fine, then. Including the light on the ammeter which had never worked before.
I loved that car. It had character. Totally mysterious in its ways, but when it wanted to play...

The top leaked like a reamed out sieve, though. On the Texas Gulf coast during monsoon season, it was a lot of fun.
