I would like to have been there. I came of age at the end of the muscle car apex and my folks relegated me to an old MGA that I paid for.....no MOPAR 440s or SS 396 for me....sigh.

Eat your heart out...I was able to buy the first used 55 chevie that came on the lot at the Chevie dealer I worked at in 55. It was a 2 door Bel Aire post with a overdrive stick. I raced the northern third of the state until I got married Feb 1st ,57 then it was a 40 ford that I put a v/8 in and my wife started having babies so byby 40. Started a business in 61 and the next thing I knew my BIL couldn't make the payments on his new 65 GTO tripower,HeHeHe. Traded that for new 68 Chevie stepside . In 1970 my friend bought a SS 454 and I was back drag racing. His wife threatened both of us with bodily harm so I got the engine and hthe SS got a 396 and he sold it. In 95 we bought a Riviera with the Super Charged 3.8 which my wife uses to get groceries. (same wife) For nostalgia I may buy the new GTO that was just released.

I'm 2 days late and a dollar short on this thread, but did you ever hear of a Renault-Dophine?? I think that's the right name. My Dad bought one for me to drive, then later turned it into a golf-cart!!! LOL
