Those two friends had to race each other as I never saw either loose a street race to anyone other than each other in the summer of 1968.
The GTO's, 442's, Hemi and 440 GTX, and even a few street strip cars went down to those Chevelle's in 1968 in north Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and part of Kansas. We traveled a lot of miles and street raced in a lot of places in the summer of 1968.
No matter how fast they were in 68 they were no longer king in 1969 and replaced by some newer cars.
Things change quickly and one of the friends was married following the summer of 68 and sold his car. The other friend kept his for many years and I am not sure what ever happened to his car. I ran into him a few years ago and he told me he did not have the Chevelle any more and did not say where it went.
The late 60's were a fun time for me when gas was cheap and all the muscle cars were around.
