Hi Jay,

Reminds me of my first Sprite a 67.  My dad made me paint it the
brightest purple you ever saw.  This was twenty years ago purple was a
in thing.  Especially in Northern California where I grew up.  All those
Hippies loved it.  I'll bet they would love yours too.

Actually I was going to change it at first but have since grown to like
it.  It's is different then everyones and still stock.  My parts guy
thinks he remembers the original owner of my B, a short school teacher. 
Of course he could be pulling my leg too.  But they were selling them
back then.

Rick
