Well, I qualify as an "old dude" since I graduated in 79. A guy in my small town in NE Ohio had a 70 or 71 340 Sublime green 4-speed Duster with Keystone Klassics on it. Headers, carb, intake, etc. That car was FAST...or so it seemed when I rode in it. Probably a mid-12 sec car looking back. But it was fun!! Then I met and got a ride in a guy's 70 Coronet RT...440 car. That was it, nirvana, big block power for me!! A few months later I bought my 69 Charger from a guy around the corner from my house who had been gifted the car from his aunt who lived across the street. He didn't want it and sold it to me for $1500 in 78. 32k miles. Still have sitting out here in my garage...40k miles now. In that town of 11,000 people, there were numerous hotrods from these Mopars to a SD Trans-Am (4-spd), a 71 SS 454 Monte Carlo, a Boss 429 Hemi Mustang, a 69 SS 396 Chevelle and my buddy's 70 302 Mustang. Also a racing family that had a Cuda, an F-body, and maybe a Challenger. They sold me lots of used parts (slicks!!) and taught me all about Holleys. Ahhh..the good old days...wish I could have afforded more than the Charger!!
