Thanks! It’s a blast to drive. The sounds are wonderful. 392 crate.

But I’m getting too old. My reflexes aren’t fast enough to drive it fast anymore.

I’m a bit aged myself. I have had a number of fast goodies, a 1978 Trans Am 400 with a reworked engine and exhaust system. I blew the engine drag racing and replaced it with a 455 cubic inch competition engine with a super radical cam in it.

The first time I cranked it up, and heard that motor idle roughly, I knew this kitten would fly. In fact, it was too hard to handle on the street with a 4.90 rear end gear. I sold it to a NYC cop for $5,000.00.

Now my son and son-in-law both Draggers...too, say, “Pop, no more racing for you....your brain still has it, but, that body and shifting, reflexes ain’t what it used to be”!!! Well. I can still dream, can’t I?
