Pro60Chevy---I just love your 60 Chev---my first real drag car was a 60 Chev Impala, 2 door hardtop. I paid $850 for it used, in 1967. It had been modified by a previous owner, to a 283 high performance engine with double bump heads and a Borg Warner t10 four speed. I was 21 years old, was in my second year of an engineering apprenticeship, had the prettiest girlfriend and the fastest car in town. I thought I was a God. I loved to race this car---there was so damn much car hung out past the rear tires that it was almost impossible to break the tires loose. I used to run against 396 Camaros, and while they sat in the lights and smoked I could pull a 3 car length hole shot on them before they started to move. Two times out of 3 they would pass me in the last 300 feet of the quarter mile, but Oh Man, did I ever brag about the other third, when I shut down cars 7 years newer than mine. Now I'm an old guy, 58---the car has long gone to that big crusher in the sky, and the girlfriend who became a wife has been gone for 23 years, but your car brings back some great memories. Thank YouOld guy hot rodder
