Dis is My Ride!!!

My dad's stories are full of non-mopar cars too. But he always said him, his brother's, and their friend's always had respect for the mopars due to all the crazy innovations and the hemis. One of his buddies had an old mercury comet (i believe). That kid's dad owned a ford dealership and the kid picked the car out new. Then he got to use the shop their to build it up the way he wanted and he also got to pick out any parts for the car he wanted. What a luckey damn kid (can you tell i am jealous?) Anyway he fixed this thing up and it was fast. He said it was a 10 second street car. They would drive that thing around town and it could pull wheelies in first and second. Maybe i will convince him to get on here and write some of the stories down. They would be a lot more detailed and more interesting im sure.
He also said that through that friend that they had the chance to drive on of ford's best creations, the ford pinto. It came into the dealership and they took it to the strip. My dad said it was the only car he has ever actually "raced" down the track hahaha. I cannot remember the time though.
Wish i could have been there for that though.
