[RatDog]

My car was built on July 12th, 1967 (last day of C2 production).

So I took SinDee, the Rat Terrier, on a celebratory ride.

It was 100 degrees but we had the top up and the Vintage Air was blowing cold.

But the fun was short-lived. As we turned onto the street headed for our neighborhood, the car sputtered and died. Coasted to the shoulder. My first thought was the bulkhead connector but all my interior electrical stuff worked. My next thought was the fuel pump. The engine would turn over but wouldn’t start.

I have a fuel pump but there was no way I was going to do that job on the side of the road with a 107 degree heat index. Plus, I didn’t know for sure if the problem really was the fuel pump. My mechanic was only 1/2 mile away so that’s where the flatbed took it.

This is the first time in the 10 years I’ve owned this car that it’s left me stranded.

Birthday pictures below taken at the beginning of our ride.
