I like to read old newspapers when I can find them, especially the advertisements and classifieds. I recently came across a copy of the Topeka, Kansas Daily Capital from October of 1967. I was scanning the classifieds when I found an ad from Jim Clark Chrysler which included a 1966 Plymouth Belvedere with a Hemi and four-speed, PLUS a radio. Sadly, I didn't see a single ad for a performance-minded Pontiac.





Nowadays, everyone would p**p their pants to find this, but back then, it seemed to be just another car. I do recognize that at just shy of $3k, it was a good amount of money back then.

When I used to talk with the older parts personnel and mechanics at the dealership I worked at, they would tell me about the "special" vehicles that they owned and ran hard. To them, it was just another car to use up and get another one when they could afford it. Chevelle SS396, Mustang Mach 1, 442, GTO; it didn't see to matter. Unfortunately, I was born too late to fit into this group.

Anyone care to comment on this, one way or another?

Thanks, Olmanwinter
