After that the car was painted black and the interior was changed to black. It looked much better then.

I still have some (print) pictures of that car and the build in one of my boxes somewhere. It looked real nice parked to my black, 1968 Camaro SS 327 I had back then too.

I had an Aspen Wagon and a K-Car once too :-/ 75MPH was about top speed, if you dared!

My buddy has a rare 71 351 BOSS. Low miles car but its been through a few motors. Years ago he pulled a 351C Australian from a VERY wrecked Pantara this guy had in the tri-state area. Blew that one a couple of years later. Best was a 351C 550HP Jack Merkel. The shear force!
I had a very well re-build street rod, an 80 Z28 that just layed waste to old muscle cars and big blocks. SO MUCH HP!! SO HARD TO STOP!!
