That car was fun to drive - I loved rowing the gears behind all that big-block torque.

That is probably is why I ended up with a 6-spd 8 instead of an 3/5/7 series.

Did not get to drive it long. When I bought it the previous owner had rebuilt the engine. He must have only gone the first round of head bolt tightening because after I returned from Marine Corps Boot Camp and Combat Engineering school, the coolant had leaked into and nearly filled most of the cylinders and rusted it solid.
