Absolutely true story! Was 17 around 1974. My bosses cousin was visiting the restaurant my boss owned and I worked at. He was in a Limelight Green 4 speed Hemi Superbird. He told me that Mr. Dandy Dick Landy, or his shop, had built the engine for him. It currently had some big Hookers and a cross ram on it and Lord what else inside. We headed out for a ride and pulled up to a stop light next to a bunch of guys in a 65 Riviera GS (these were the 425 dual quad nail heads engines). The guys were egging us on. I was intently focused on what gear he was in, the speedo and the tach. He waited for the Rivy to get a little ahead and then hit the (all hell breaks loose pedal) All I remember is that he passed the guys at over 135 in 3rd and shut it off at about 160, not even breathing hard. He claimed that he had had it up to 202 mph on a big track.
