21 when I made my first pass in a brand new 1968 GTX 440 4 speed, no air, no power brakes, no power steering, forest green, 4.10 dana 60 rear. Had saved every penny I could get my hands on while in nam for 18 month's so I could pay cash for a new car. I ordered it the way I wanted it. Man I loved that car. Sold it after a year because I HAD to get married.
should have keep your hand on the 4 speed huh?

1967, I was 16. I had bought a 392 Hemi and rebuilt it to put in a 36 Ford coupe,a couple years before. It was taking to long to finish that car, and I put the 392 in my 57 Chrysler 2 dr. "parts car" and took it to Bullet Dragway in Ky. Also known as "Cedar Creek". I think it ran a 16 something in the 1/4.

I made my first pass on my girlfriend--now wife -in my 68 Fury VIP Yep..a C body has lots of room as a make-out car,LOL!! Seriously,my first pass down the track was in my 300C last summer.I managed to get two passes in before it rained and the traction control kept kicking in even after turning it off. best 15.77.I know the car--and driver--can do better.

'68 Valiant 100 w/ a 170. Blistered the quarter mile @ the old Gateway to the tune of 21.15 @ 65mph. Dropped in a mild 360 and ran high 13's/low 14's in 100% street trim after that. Late 1980's.

If I re-call...a 1974 International Travelall...lmao...the first truck I bought....68 International P/U...what a beast...and finally got to drive dads 68 Pontiac Ventrua 4 speed 428....that was a rare and very cool car...then someone stole it from my moms yard. Havent ever seen it again. My dad can STILL after 30 years rattle off the complete VIN number of that car...he is still looking for it. ( dad was a cop)
