As I stated in the story , it was repossessed by the Bank when I went into the Service because I could not keep up the payments on a privates pay of $67.20 a month. Also prior to the Bank repo the motor was taken out. Any Vet with a 350HP /327 could be duplicated to perform the same. No matter what make or manufacturer , in the right hands with enough patience and ability , any car can be made made competitive. Back in those days we did not have any computers to tell us what was not working right , it was up to the driver to evaluate the run and for the crew chief to listen to the run and also combined that with the input from the driver. Now a days you can put a monkey behind the wheel and the computer will give out all the information all the monkey need do is drive straight. Now they have the computers , super stick-TRACTION COMPOUND on the track , auto-shifting "Standard Transmissions" , and high octane racing gas , ALL OF WITCH WE DID NOT HAVE.
