My first taste of the musclecar era was when my brother and i talked my mom into trading the family station wagon in in 1966 for a 66 impala ss 396, we imedietly proceeded to break it in properly at the local dragstrip..Coles county, Charleston, Il. Then we went car shopping for my brother,hit all the dealership,s test drove every thing, a shelby- hertz gt-350 mustang ,tri-power gto 67 ss396 chevelle, settled on a 67 442 sedan on the showroom floor 400 4 spd. white with black top, what a screamer !!!!!!!! Next came a 69 gto ordered in with the ram-air 4 motor. 433 gear .duel-gate shifter ect. Was standing there when they dropped it of at the dealer, what a sound when they fired that up and rolled it of the truck, we had a plan, rolled it strait into the body shop and it got the Royal-Bobcat paint scheme, the rear spoiler ect. before it hit the street. That was one bad-*** car on the street !!! That car got me through high school and one year of college. Traded it (like a dumb- ***** ) But kept the Ram Air IV motor for a 72 buick GS ran it in pure stock , added the exhaust cut-outs and sticky M & H tires and had a blast ..... then came the wife and kids and a new chevelle statoin wagon, sold the buick but couldn,t stand it bought it back later and still have it....... The rest is history .
