One of my most vivid early memories in about 1969, was of my dad taking me to a buddys hot rod shop, and there in one of the bays was a beautiful bright red 66 Chevelle SS with huge rear tires, and skinnys up front. They talked for a bit and asked me if I wanted to hear it run. I had never heard a big block with a 6-71 blower run before, especially inside a cramped shop. That thing scared the ****e out of me, but I couldn't stop grinning for the rest of the day. I think that single moment in time shaped my love of cars. Maybe the reason I remember it so clearly is that my dad was driving a very similar red 66 Chevelle with the stock 327 4 speed at the time.
