Thanks for sharing, Ken please do post some shots,
Don I know what you mean about the seventies. Smog devices, cars that ran like crap...,but jeeze you could still pickup 60's and 50's cars for a few hundred bucks.
In our town the car to beat was a Vega with a 454 under the hood. The whole front end would twist when he gunned it. I remember my dad had just imported a Lancia Zagato that needed a little work. He let me take it home for a week (back to my mom's house). Friday night who should pull up next to me but the Vega. I went for it and smoked him down the block( the Lancia was very fast in the low gears), hit a t- intersection turned left, barely staying on the road at about 60 mph, he went right. Had it continued straight he would have had me, but I felt like King for the day, and managed not to get a ticket too!
