I only have a hundred or so of these....
mid-late 1970's, Driving north Route 1 in Beltsville, MD, late at night, come across an early 70's Vette (small block) with a couple of kids in it, like me. Russell or Bob in the car with me. Try to get the Vette to race, but he doesn't respond. Then, the passenger rolls down the window and asks me if I want to race a Rambler (okay I figure the guy has a fast AMC of some sort), so I ask him "Is that what that is? Here i was thinking it was a corvette, but now I see it's a Rambler. This banter goes on for awhile until I find his weak spot. The passenger asks me what size engine I have. I reply "283 Chevy---just---like---you!" Now I got him. He nails it and my 1970 Trans Am with 3.31 gears, turbo 400, 455 HO heads, Ram Air IV cam & intake, Hooker Super Comps (2" primary), forged +.030" TRW, eat him alive from about a 40 roll. Naturally, we slow down and offer to sell him a V8 for his car.
