Hey, man! I just checked your bio. Gotta say I love them cars. I'm just an over-the-hill "drag racing" dude now, but in my day, I owned a 1940 Ford, with a 1951 Olds V8 in it, a 1960 Pontiac Catalina "tri-carb" 389ci V8, a 1978 Trans Am powered by an earlier 455ci V8 (twelve second quarter mile), a 1988 Corvette and a BMW 325 stick shift, all fun cars. Today, I just have been reduced to a maniac NASCAR fan. However, fear not, I can still tool around when necessary. Have lots of fun!!!!

Jus tread your bio. When I saw Reagan at a campaign speech in 1964 for Barry, I was REALLY inspired. In fact, one of the comments put in my year-book bio was that "Davis was disappointed theat Goldwater lost the election. Davis also likes his Dad's 1966 Chrysler 300." It had a 440 TNT package with dual quads. The Torqueflight tranny was the best that Detroit had. Couldn't break it. I was doing manual shifting on the auto, Took it up to 70 in second, went to third, wound it out; not thinking went "up a gear" to N, revevved the mill to 8 grand, pulled back on the lever, caught third and burned rubber at ninety. The tranny and mill were just fine. It's amazing we lived through that era. Chrysler rocked in the 60s. Since then, I'd never buy a MoPar. All crap.
