Manny, some of those older GTO's were fast! real fast!
In High School my best friend drove a super bee with a 440mag. lot of peddle in that rig. probably all out top speed fastest car i been in. Scary!!
My other best bud was a mechanic's son, drove a 65 chevelle SS w/ built balanced and blued 396 tons of money in that motor, he owned the town in the 1/4...very quick!
I had a 67 firebird HO, seized the motor, perfect cond. otherwise and sat in garage until i sold it for $800. in '78 Why, Why, Why, did i do that???
Also had 71 TR GT6+, lots of speeding tickets, thing wouldn't hardly run @ 55mph unless in 3rd!! Nice road car but hard to keep it running, had to pay extra for import mechanics. I didn't know chit about fixen cars back then.
Also had a plain jane 68 chevelle, for my first car and a chick magnet bitchen nice 71 Camaro SS, for my last car.
Once i went Chev 4X4, a 76 sb fleetside, i never looked back, been a pickup guy ever since...Looking back, i was lucky to get through all those years of driving and being in fast cars, going fast, without getting killed. We did some stupid chit but that pretty much stopped when we all got our trucks...but i do like those older Z28's ;-) maybe someday! Joey
