I graduated high school in '73. Funny how part of the English curriculum at the time was reading this book about life in the far-distant future called... 1984.

LOL. Those are some nice cars you listed. There was actually a kid in my school who had a Plymouth Superbird (with that ridiculous NASCAR wing). What a sphincter. At a time when VW Bugs were $1,800 new, and a Ford Mustang GT cost $2,600, this tool spends $4,500 on a Superbird! Nobody liked that kid.

Ridiculous though they may have appeared for a street legal car, if he held onto it he’s getting the last laugh.

Most of my friends were decent guys. I’d love to have a Superbird - have a photo of one from an old, old car show - probably late 1970’s or very early 1980’s.

One of the guys we knew did have an AMX - it was super-clean and yes he was quite the jerk about it. Kept me from appreciating the car at the time. It was white with blue and red stripes or something.

One guy I knew (nice guy) had a 360 Gremlin - I don’t think it was 401, don’t remember. But it was always fun seeing the car.

After my friend Tom got caught during burnouts at the high school in his 440 Challenger, his father made him sell it. He got a clean 318 version, but it just wasn’t the same car. A tragedy.
