In 1968 my dad bought a new SS396/350hp Chevelle.
4.10’s and a 4 speed.

He drove me to school in it that first day.
Hammered it through the gears a few times on the way.

Sure seemed pretty fast at the time to the 9yo me.

1st weekend of ownership it was out at Islip dragway on Long Island.
In totally off-the-showroom condition it ran tire frying 15’s.
