Default 1970 Formula 04C 53rd birthday outing

Every year I try to get some little things done (replace, upgrade, clean) on my car in the 3rd week of April. Kind of a Firebird birth-week/spring cleaning. I've been focusing on the transmission this spring.

Here in PA the weather has been great. it's summer in April. I took the car out to pick up my son and nephew, and ended up driving around for about 2 hours. A warm dry night. It felt great driving at night.

The color in those pics is ambiguous. It's Carousel Red.
