It was a 1969. Bought it new for $3800 with the high performance 396/450hp engine and a high performance auto trans (turbo hydro 400 I think?). Pulled the engine out every winter and sent out parts for customizing. Put it back together in my bedroom one year, my mom almost shit
:
With an L88 cam and solid lifters the engine loaped (right word?) and the lifters made a racket when it idled
My friends used to call it the popcorn machine cause I always kept the lifters loose
I was parked in the local hang out one night and some kid in a Barracuda with 3 dueces pulled and asked me if I wanted to "race that pig". I said sure, but soon as I started the engine he just drove away
