63 Impala Copper metallic 327 475 HP. 3 speed, 4:11 end, Edelbrock manifold, Holley carburetor, Isky cam, Hedman headers, Cherry Bomb glass packs. Regular brakes, regular steering, no air. Fun, fast car. I eventually blew it up on a hole shot and sold it for parts and pretty much broke even. I used to take it to a track we called the "Grove" and grudge race. 2 runs on the track for $8 which was quite a bit back then. If you kept winning, you kept racing for your $8. Some days/nights you'd be out in 2, but others, you could race all day if you brought enough tools, fuel, and tires.
Gutless '65 Biscayne six. U-turns, parallel parking, and even just cornering helped me develop fast hands and strong arms.
Mountain driving = remove the air filter lid, pinch the butterfly valve open with a clothespin, and carry on.
Fun prank on friends was to yank the ignition key out while driving and pretend that the steering wheel was locked.
