At a used car lot in Glendale California about 1977. There was a clean '67 or '68 Impala SS 427 on the lot for $1200. I would have had to swaggle a loan from the parents. My two buddies there with me discouraged me, saying "No one would like driving that big old boat around".

Also in the late '70's, there seemed to be a lot of '70-'71 429 CJ Torinos around, some with four-speeds, ALL with over 140,000 miles on them, running between $1200 and $1500.

We don't want a bigger government; We want a government that does a few BIG things, and does them right.

If you think that you can cut it, if you think you got the time, they'll only give you one chance, better get it right first time. 'Cause in this game you're playin, if you lose you got to pay. And if you make just ONE wrong move, you'll get BLOWN AWAY!
