"A neighbor has a very rare ‘61 409 Super Sport coupe. Black with red interior."

IIRC, that was a common exterior/interior color scheme for that Chevy and other brands through the years.

"She's real fine my 409...my four ohh nine..." There was a reason the Beach Boys made that motor famous - the first American muscle car that could beat a Jaguar E series at the time. "...my four speed, duel quad, posi traction 409...".

Ask a young man now what those terms mean. He'll look at you like you're from Mars. Hell, ask him what a generator regulator is, or a coil, or even a distributor cap.

Currently have a 1958 Chevy Impala 348 with tri-power. Amazed how much gas it sucks up, but thrilled to drive it down the road with the Ronettes blasting out the rolled down windows! Best design Chevy ever did. Got lot's of meets coming up. Hot August Nights! Screw politics for now. Haha.
