High school buddy Moto had a '66 Dart GT 273 Commando column shift 904. Moto worked at Chevron station across town. A high school acquaintance of ours was out riding his dual sport bike one evening and at Moto's station he decides he's going to ride a wheelie across the parking lot. Moto was leaned up against the door frame of the lube bay and the other knothead decided that was his wheelie route of choice, into the lube bay :eek:. Before Moto could get out of the way the foot peg get's him in the leg as the wheelie monkey passes :BangHead: breaks leg in 3 places, cast from toes to hip for what seemed like a year. I think there was an insurance settlement involved, shortly after Moto is shopping 340s at the junk yards :rolleyes:. Cast and all we got that 340 in the '66. Ran fabulous it did. Passenger's seat in the Dart was off limits, that was where he placed the casted leg so he could drive with his left foot :lol:. Shortly after came the DC Purple Shaft, following that was the thermobog off a wrecked CHP cruiser. That's when the Camaros in town came to the conclusion to just avoid Moto like the plague :lol:. There was the 8 3/4 diff we found in the junk yard "LOCKED" in junk yard marker across the housing. He still in his cast, I get out the measuring tape and do my thing "This is A Body width" :eek:. I spin the yoke no noises both brake drums turn same direction, count revs of both "This something close to 4-1" into the Piglet it goes (66 VW Squareback) "$35" says the old guy at the front gate "But it says LOCKED on the housing!" says Moto. "Alright $25". We didn't look back on our way out the driveway :lol:. Hooker headers built a free set of fenderwell headers for it for the use of it for a week as a pattern car, including exhaust to the back of the car. Moto was just one of those car story kinda guys :lol:. The T/A he acquired for next to no $$, after we put the 727 in it so he could drive it with that cast, was at the time the single fastest SB powered car I had ever ridden in or drove.
