Don , Nice collection of cars ,I grew up in Huntington beach , Cal. and one of my friends Dave had a 69' dodge dart "swinger" with a 340 V8 and I'm hear to tell you this car was fast in a drag race !! , one night Dave and I were sitting at a stop light in his " swinger " a guy pulls up with his new 71 1/2 camero Z78 with a 350/375hp we then heard the words " do ya wana race " dave just smiled and shook his head yes and told the guy in the Camero "let me warm my tires first", dave then power braked his swinger and it started to creep sideways with alot of tire smoke from the locked rearend .When the light turned green we shot off like a bullet!, I remember the loud crunching sound of the camero driver shifting his trans. without useing his clutch this was the sound of a desperate driver !. The " Swinger" ate the Z78 without a problem . Sorry for the long post , It's just one of my memories from the" good old days " we all have them right ? Ken S.
