car that influenced me when I was young

It was in 1972 I was 17 I blew the 389 engine in my 65 4spd GTO My dad gave me a 1969 Coronet R/T 4spd dana car. I Bought another one in 1973. Second owner 1300 miles but with a dealer installed complete 440 six pack engine ordered new . Never got beat with that car until.

A friend at that time bought a trade-in at a dodge dealer in late 1975 on an Aspen R/T. It was a 4spd 69 swinger with a built W-2 engine retired street race car.
"You didn't steer that car you aimed it". (A real Elephant Tamer).


Due to the larger wheel openings in the rear of the 70 71 Duster Demons. I evolved to that A- body. I never looked back I just kept buying 70-71 340 cars.

I just loved RPM's . My motor cycle was a 1972 Kawasaki 500 2 stroke triple. That was almost my end. Went into a tank slapper Street racing . Was in a Coma for over a week and a year to learn how to walk.

But I met my wife nursing me through recovering and we been together since. We have three children and two of them think the throttle is an off and on switch. So we had first-aid kits everywhere. They take after their Mom.
