My buddy, captain of the football team, had a '68 Mustang GT fastback with a 390 4-barrel, 4 on-the-floor. With three other hulking meatheads in that car, I never saw him lose a race. 340-Six-pack Darts, Z-28's, Corvettes, GTO's, that thing was a freaking bullet on wheels. He'd do over 120mph driving me home from football practice on two-lane country back roads. In third gear.

We were immortal back then...

A few friends in high school had some nice machines.

One friend had a 67 Cougar - 428 4-speed

Another had a 67 or 68 Fastback (can’t remember the year) - 428 4-speed

One had a perfect 67 289 Cougar 4bbl (like my 67 Fastback Mustang)

Another had a beautiful Challenger with a 440 Magnum / auto.

And one guy had a Roadrunner with 440 that would like the wheels through the first 2 or 3 gears. I would swear I saw that car on the freeway next to me about 12-14 years ago. Very distinct color and hood scoop. I got on the freeway and it motored past me abut 5 or 10 mph more than I was going. I was on my way to work but wanted to follow the car. Off to work.....

If anybody invents a time machine, I’d like to pop back to the 70’s, LOL....
