My FIRST car, in 1976, was a 70 GTO, with 74,000 miles, factory hurst 4
speed, white ball. long hood, fire in the belly. totally stock. Had a
throaty sound, like a barmaid in Texas. Better stop now, im starting to
sound like Bob Segar and getting all weepy.
My second car was a hybrid. Vega GT with a chevy V8. Those 440 Mag 70
chargers never knew what hit em. Third car was a Chevy V8 CJ 5. Yellow, with
black flames on the hood. NOT subtle.
Vanagon content? Sure. Vanagons with SOOB power. Saki powered Teutonic
panzer wagens. Get outta da way Tiico boys..
