It was 1978 and I was a Sr in HS. Driving around in a Maverick Grabber. Thought I was real cool. Come across a 1970 Chevelle with the 454/450HP 4-speed. Sold the Grabber for $1,200 and went to the bank and got another $800. Paid the guy $2,000 for one of the best all time "Muscle Cars". Drove it for about 6 months and it drained my small pockets with all the gas it could slurp up. Sold the car for $1,800 and picked up my first 65 Stang. To date, that was close to the fastest car that I have ever driven. My Cobra is a blast to drive but that 454 really screamed. Have owned several muscle cars but that was the one that "got-away".
