Left him with a "I gotta get me one of those!" moments.

Later replaced with a '65 SC with an "airport gearbox." Topped out at 95mph, but got there quickly compared to others.
Having hit 90 (down hill w/ a tail wind) in my '65 C coupe... 95 is plenty fast. Although the math for 4th gear and the redline indicate 105 is possible...
