I had a 67 Custom 500 with the 390 interceptor package. Couldn't keep rear tires on it until I put a set of Gates H-70/15 Custom Riverias on it. Then it would only leave an about 18" long patch 10" wide.

Blew the tranny, over revved the engine, broke the pinion shaft to the rear end and bent the driveshaft all in about 2 minutes driving home at spring break in 1972. Scrapped out and replaced it with a 64 Chevelle two door hardtop.

But to answer your question straight up- I would not let him drive or hold the license. I might hold it vs destroy it until I talked to DPS.

what details would you like? he was in a '67 ford fairlane, parallel parked, bumped a pole, failed and received his license in the mail yesterday.

he'd already scheduled to retake the driving test. somebody goofed.

The detail I would like is ... how did you get a young person to take the test in such an un-cool car?? My most recent new driver was going to use my 2016 Altima with backup camera, but my wife had to take it to visit her mother in the hospital. He ended up using my 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. Not as un-cool as a '67 Fairlane, but still pretty high on the "I wouldn't be caught dead driving that" list.

You don't remember what a 67 Fairlane looked like.
