Fastest Street Cars In Your Town, 'Back In The Day'

Bedford Indiana, I use to work at the local speed shop (cale kerns automotive specialties) and a bunch of old timers hung out there. id hear all kinds of storis of cars "back in the day" from bedford. the few that stick out was i heard stories of a 70 ss chevelle 396 4sp with a tunnel ram, 4.10s and straight 4in sidepipes. we were able to find the car from the original owner and rescue it. if i can find the pics from my old boss i will post them. cale himself had a 67 camaro rs with a de-stroked 400 to a 377 with a 4sp and 4.56 gears. could barely drive it but somehow managed to cruise it. from the last 10 years the cars that were actually street raced and well known was harold browns 70 charger rt. car was plum crazy with about a gallon of metalflake in it. its hard to say what his exact setup was because every summer it seemed he had a different setup. but mostly ran stroked 440s, 727, and 3.90 gears. jim edwards and his 67 cutlass with a 455, t400 and 12 bolt with 3.55s always cleaned house. and a few guys with early 2000s camaros and mustangs of course. not to brag but i guess my duster could be considered one someday. for the last 8 years its been around causing trouble. its a small town and people ive never met seem to know all about my car. ill try to get pics posted up of what i can fine. theres alot more from my little town that i cant think of off the top of my head. but for a little town, there sure is alot of hot rod "local legends"
