1976. 69' Camaro 350 2bbl 3 speed on floor. $650 car with 44,000 miles. Want to say low 16s or 15.90. It was slow compared to my friends cars in high school. Only ran it like that once and went back home to make it faster.

1976 , Flat towed my 1967 Tempest that I had pulled the OHC 6 out of and installed a 1969 Pontiac 428 I got from Post Brothers junkyard in Saugerties , NY . Pulled that whole works up to Lebanon Valley Dragway . I had a great time , I still recognize some of the names , that are still running up there , but they are probably their kids !
