I'm with Pat on this one, never had one of the "fastest muscle cars" when they were new.... But when the 67's came out I had a little '56 Ford 2 door sedan with a 406 tri-power, headers, 4 speed, cheater slicks, dog dish hub caps..... The new "muscle cars" were easy pickin's on the street, actually hunting them down for a little action almost became a second source of income!!!!!A bunch of them would always show up at Thunder Valley on Sunday to run the Pure Stock class and most all were in the 14's, when someone got into the 13's the owner would just get all giggly. One of them, Jeff Nelson, got a big block Chevelle in '68 and installed headers, slicks, and a good tune-up and ran 12.80's.... Was a guy named Mark something with a GS Buick that was in the mid 13's....
Guess I wasn't there the day all the 12 second stockers showed up...Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
