Just spent a nostalgic week with my parents/in-laws. Guess i know where I get my moto-DNA.
My father-in-law, who dies last week once had, as his premier car, a first-run Cobra! I never knew it! '64 289. kept it for 3 years, before deciding it wasn't a "family" car. Traded it for a Cadillac. My father had 2 hemi-Dodges. A '55 and and a '56. Two-tone paint on both (black & red). Bought my Mom a deuce coupe in '60. She hated that car! Traded it for a '66 VW, which she still misses at age 93. My 2nd car (after the beer wagon hand-me-down '60 Dodge) was a '66 Dodge Dart GT (I'd KILL to have it back). 273 cid, 4 speed, balanced blueprinted & dyno'd at 304 hp, Edelbrock, dual carter AFB's w/postive linkage. 6 mpg. So....why have I spent 35 years with a 1.7 914/4? Pat |
