My older brothers' (they are twins) 57 Chevy circa 1968 So Cal. 327 'Vette engine - hell on wheels.
They put in $400 each and my old man added $400. They about killed one another over whose turn it was to take the car out. As I've gotten older I have often wondered if the old man did it to them as a prank - for having to put up with them for 16 years.
