Swift Question

I owned a 69 ragtop with a stock 400, Muncie 4 speed, Tach in the hood, rubber front end and hideaway headlights. With no upgrades other than headers it would pull the wheels in 2 gears. I also had a 70 1/2 Trans Am with a 389 which was very cool till I put a rod through the side of the block. There were 3 different Goats among my friends back in the 70's and my garage was the engine rebuild (mostly bent valves due to plastic timing gears) and clutch replacement gathering spot. We went through a lot of clutches, more breaking them than wearing them out. lol Don't even ask me what happened to the car I don't want to talk about it. :(

GTO? Are you "Pontiac" guy? "68 Goat is one of my favorite muscle cars.

I owned a "67 Camaro SS, similar fate. 😂

Makes me cry considering those cars are selling for $30k+ now.

I know, right? I watch Mecum, every time an RS or SS or Z is on the block, I suddenly become preoccupied... I am in my late 50s and cannot afford to buy a car I owned in my twenties...

A friend of mine recently bought a 67 Camaro Z28. Nice car, but nowhere near a complete restoration. $34,000. Boys and their TOYS!!

Exactly.. Pitiful

Makes me dream of that ONE last $100 barn find that has to be out there somewhere.

My first car, in 1971, was a 1960 VW beetle, 1100cc engine with 34 horses in that lawnmower engine.

You guys talking "62 mph" these days? Only when I got behind an 18 wheeler! I thanked truckers from the beginning, now I am one!

I wouldn't say fear

Brian, I like to tag quotes to identify who says what. But I like to add a bit of silliness, too. Absolutely, (to dissect and kill the humor) most "fear" is truly respect.

I don't recall my HTML tags well enough to play with quotes. Just wanted to clarify fear as in taking it seriously not like drooling on myself while I pee my pants. :)
