If I could find a new 1980 Chevy Monza Spider with the 305 V8..... I would buy it in a minute!

That was my first car. I swapped the 305 for a 327 with a nasty cam, beefed up the transmission and rear end, lowered the car an inch, and beefed up the suspension/exhaust. The car was well over 450 hp at the rear wheels. I replaced the rear tires on that car 100 times.

How many speeding tickets we collect

Was stopped by a girlfriend's father who was a NC State Trooper. He asked where I was going so fast.....my reply.....Your house Officer. 120 in a 55....he left me off with a warning. Needless to say....we were not dating soon after that event.

I collected several (numerous) tickets in my time - could never understand 55 MPH when I go get there much quicker at 75+ MPH.
At one time I owned an old Plymouth police interceptor - it had what looked like bullet holes in the side panels. Wild Days!

Remember the oil embargo days - Drive 55 MPH and save - we were running out of oil by 2000 so much for the experts.

My Brother had a 74 Plymouth Polara with the police interceptor. You could run that thing dry on oil and not kill it!

He bought that after totaling a mercury cougar convertible. My other brother bought the engine from the insurance/salvage. It was a 429 cobra jet. He jammed it in a 68 ford falcon. The car had so much power and torque he would loose all the chrome moldings every time he jammed on the gas. Eventfully he twisted the frame.
