In HS, friend of mine and I were dating girls that were best friends and we double dated a lot in 71 -73. His Dad was one of the largest used car dealers in our area of N MS and went up north to get cars and flip. Many were muscle cars and we got our pick every weekend when the truck arrived. These included 68 442, 69 Camaro SS 396 4 sp, 69 Hurst Olds, 71 SS 454 Chevelle ( he wrecked it), and a 71 Dodge Demon 340 6 pack 4 sp, formally from Mr. Norm's in Chicago ( rolled it drag racing - totaled but not hurt). Man, those were the days. BTW, in the summer of 87, I bought a 79 vette which i still have (stupidly sold my 70 Chevelle SS396 4 sp to by it). My 4 year old nephew loved to ride in it ( his parents had let him get a "Boz" style cut at the time). One night when we were stopped at a 4 way stop, he looked up at me with a cool grin and said "Uncle ....., this is not a car, it's a Corvette". Sometimes giving the ride is also a memory to never forget.
