I bought a 73 Calais for my (then 16) oldest daughter's first car. It weighed 4850 pounds, had a 502, and could carry 6 in style, and relative safety. She replaced it with a Jeep! Since it was a gas hog, too, it kept her driving to a minimum.

Last summer, when visiting her (now 30), she told me she's looking for another one like it. She doesn't have the Jeep any more. With 2 kids, she's got a Taurus, but longs for the feel of that behemoth!

My Mothers 63 had a 390 with three 2 barrel carbs. When I was 16, I drove to Disneyland with some friends in that car. Got on the freeway, merged into the traffic and looked at the Speedo. I was doing 90 in no time. Scared the hell out of me. That car was a beast.

It hauled Ass. Sometimes I think it was faster than my 69 Chevelle with the 350.
