KyChallengerR/T6spd

Back when I was young and had the 71 Challenger R/T 340 automatic. Several of us would get out around 11 pm on a road near my parents home . And race a marked off 1/8th mile. The 1/8th ended up at the drive way of a older couple. The old man and his wife loved to watch. They would get out in the yard with their lawn chair's . There was a guy who had more fast cars in his time than I could count . All brands . At the time he had a 67 Mustang fast back with 390 and 4 speed. He ran this young kid one night that had 69 Z 28. He beat the Z twice by a fender . Both had been worked on and had headers and other stuff. The guy with the Mustang ( Dale ) told the kid he'd run him for $50.00 and swap car's . The kid jumped on the deal. Dale won by two car lengths with the Z 28 over his Mustang. He had a way with the gear's.
