a funny thing happened at work one day
sterling stamping, in sterling heights mich. and im not telling the dates or last names! then i was a loaner over to the assb plant on the other side of detroit for a few weeks. never saw superbirds. they were a hand made deal and over pretty much before me prob. i had not thought about it for ever due to having a ss chevelle, then ss camaro, 65 impala ss, and gto's sky larks etc. mostly GM stuff for years. then i got this little 72 dart and the guy said it was a 318 and the build sheet said so. then a guy looked it up and said a 340, so im staying with the last guess!. ha ha. but when i was sandng on the fender, i found a pair of special made vice grips still holding on. and i remembered that i lost a dozen of them myself and sat down and laughed till i had to go. we would put things (harmless) in cars to look for if we ever bought one just to see if we made it. like a piece of metal under the seat with our "special" name on it. could not risk a super finding our name. there were, squirt, country, gomer(that was mine cause i was from KY), pops, willie love, and lots of numbers that meant something. the build sheet, had a grease pencil mark when done, but if you were not down that far you would put a item somewhere. had shoe string when broken from our boots, tied in a funny knott on the seat frame. a piece of paper in the dome light lens. a Big BITE ME under the V/T, and lots of political sayings lots of laugh-in sayings, anti war crap, etc. if you see gomer on one let me know. ill add more as the brain cells gets freed up from other things. i really would love to have that 340 duster six banger. it was sharp.
