Chevrolets on the hauler. Looks like a green Vega GT on the bottom.

Know about the '68 Torino GT Fastback standard Big block's came wo hood scoop...special ordered by parents as new model...and old man purchased hood scoop from dealer when they were available later in parts dept...and rear spoiler...etc. etc.

I don't think they make 'em anymore. I spent hours racing my brother on our big wheels as a kid.

Me in 1963, 7 years old, northern MN. To young to hunt but not to try look like a proud little hunter :-). Discovered this pic a couple years ago, did not know it existed.

Pretty sure it is a green machine. I saw one a few years back - they may have re-released it for a while.

My nephew was messing with a big wheel a while back. Had a rubber wheel at the front and was down-hill drifting it.

*Edit - the green machine was re-released. Can get it a Walmart.
