Also thinking of getting me a "hot ride", so I could chase/impress the ladies !!
But, on that specific date ... it's hard to tell. I don't remember celebrating New Years Eve ... so I was probably on QRF duty (Quick Reaction Force - aka "guard duty") as truck driver & M60 Machine Gunner.

By the way ... I got that "ride" -- 1969 Chevy Nova SS 350 (300hp) 4speed ... removed the Muncie (mickey mouse) shifter and replaced it with a Hearst 4spd - added two Thrush mufflers with extended pipes out the sides - put Gabriel Highjacker air shocks on the back wheels (California rake style). And cruised the Jerry's Drive-In (Southland) ... looking for the ladies, or a drag race ... whichever came first ... LOL!! ........ cp
