I just read this entire thread and am most impressed. Great read! Your little story stirred up MANY memories for me too. Why? 'Cause I was there in Tulsa at the same time you were. <grin> A&P school, huh? Was it Spartan School of Aeronautics? I worked at the McDonnell Douglas plant at Tulsa International Airport from '78 to '92.
I moved to Tulsa from KC, Mo in 1977 and spent many a night on Peoria Street in my youth. I don't remember your car specifically, but I remember some cars you memtioned. If fact, I have old snapshots of the Peoria at night the weekend the Street Machine Nationals were in town. I'll have to dig those out and scan them to post here. I might jog your memory with a few of my stories and pics.
You mentioned a AAR 'Cuda and a T/A Challenger. I had a B3 blue T/A Challenger I re-built from a wreck (Big story there) and used to hang with a guy named John D. who had a orange AAR in 1979. My daliy driver was a '71 Winchester Gray Charger Super Bee, 440-6 4 speed. Remember any of those cars?
Anyway, I don't want to hijack your thread anymore, so when I get the pics out of the attic and scanned, I'll post them and a story in another thread. Don't expect great wordsmanship from me though, lol. See what you started!
