In Jan 1966 I bought a ’63 Galaxie 500 with a 406. The car was pretty fast for an 18 year old kid. The addition of slicks, exhaust cutouts, and a gear allowed me to win a few trophies. I eventually put a 427 low-riser in the car. Of course the 390 emblems on the front fenders fooled quite a few on the street. And I did a lot of street racing back then. That was until I got a job teching Stock and S/S at a local outlaw dragstrip in 1969. Went to work at the local NHRA track, Ohio Valley Raceway in 1970 and the rest is Stock and S/S history.
