In July of 1993 The Old Girl made her final run. We were headed home on northbound Rt 219 in New York when an electrical fire broke out in the dash and quickly caught the carpeting on the dogbox on fire. Now, if any of you have ever run the 219 you know, it's a 2 lane with hardly no shoulder until you get almost to the beginning of the 219 Expressway in Springville New York. Plunger drove about 5 miles to a safe pull-off while I tried desperately to put the fire out. As you can see, my efforts were unsucessful. The old Girl was declared totalled but her frame and motor were hardly scorched. So, part of her lives on today!!
