They were beasts to keep tuned!
I guess I must be sleeping this morning, I meant this to be a reply to this link.. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=132907
Then after I posted it I noticed that I had entered it as a new topic... oh well.
I knew a guy whose father bought him a 1969 Hemi-Charger right off the show room for high school graduation. I worked all summer 80-120 hours a week in a grainary and cotton gin in order to buy my little 1969 340 Dart.
Anyway, when his hemi was tuned up, it was almost unbeatable, but a week later it ran like a real dog. I'd blow him away at every stop light. The only car in town that never lost to him was a 69 'vette 427/435, owned by my brother-in-law.
