I notice the callouts on the hood- "HEMI".




That was out there, but there was a lot of 'stealth' in these parts...

Saw many a '383' tagged Elephant out runnin'...

(One bad one was a '66 Belvy...Plain-Jane brown, bench-seat column automatic...

The proverbial 'Grandma go to church car'...

Made some money until the word got out)...


Similar to this but no tags...





At 16 in 1971, a Hemi was the King of the Road and not to be taken lightly. Nothing else scared me- 396 Camaros, 427-454 'vettes, 429 Mustangs, etc. I would take on anything.
Other than my car, there weren't too many sleepers running around in our neck of the woods. I never went into downtown Atlanta back then but it was my understanding that the heavy-hitters could be found at the Varsity Drive-In. Guy that was several years ahead of me in HS was racing his '69 Super Bee down there and had a clutch explosion. Lost part of his rt. foot.
