The TV show Route 66, one of my uncles 65 Riviera GS 425 2x4bbl, other uncle took me to big event at OCIR in 1970 and Hot Wheels

I worked at a salvage yard and begged the owner to allow me to at least let me get the carbs and intake off the easily restorable car (65 also) I lost my job when they (the carbs) disappeared one day.
