i went thru some cars back yrs ago. 66 chevelle 396 4 speed , 70 chevelle , 70 cuda , 72 350 v-8 Vega......Best 1 ever had was a 68 chevy truck (yea here comes another story)
Guy down the street had it and he worked on it nearly everynight....im talking this thing looked like showroom condition. But under the hood it was all power. I go down there 1 evening and hes bitchin and raisin hell....his wife is demanding he get rid of the truck. he tells me he's so tired of hearing her bitch about it he'd sell it right now for $1500. The next day it was mine. All it needed was to finish putting in the floor shift and me and a buddy did it that night...drove it down to new orleans and all through the quarter and shit.
Next morning im going to work, i have to be there at 8am but im so excited i leave at 7 just to drive it some more.....im 2 blocks from work on a skinny 2 lane road with ditches on each side.
i look ahead and there is a Toyota coming at me head on doing about 50mph, as it got closer i could see the driver slumped over the wheel. I stopped in the road put both feet on the brakes and closed my eyes....when i opened them the engine was in the cab with me and the toyota was upside down in the ditch. Had the truck less than 24 hours and it was gone........
Stay tuned and next time ill tell you about my moms 70 catalina that she let me drive 1 time....keywords 1 time lol
