My first car was a 61 Olds F85
That had a all 215 aluminum V-8. It was 4 door sedan with the "slim jim" hydramatic 3 speed trans. In maybe 2000 mile I replaced that trans 3 times, worst transmission of all time in my opinion. I did try to pass a guy in a pick up truck on the way to high school and he nailed it so what other choice did a 16 yr old have? I passed the guy at 110mph, when we reached the light the guy couldn't believe he was Blown away by a 4 door granny car. Best moment of my life at that point.
