Seeing your 1st Mopar 'Upset' a Chevy

Circa 1970, My Dad's Cousin had a 1969 340 Dart Swinger / 4-speed / 3.23 gear.
My brother & I were in the back seat. My Dad was riding shotgun.

We pulled up behind a Corvette & Mustang at a stoplight.
When the light turned green, they were off & we were right on their tail.
As soon as the Corvette opened his lead, my Cousin went between them & outran both.

Now, when you are 10 years old, that leaves a lasting impression on you. LOL
Got to be in that car on several other occasions with the same results.
The beauty of it all, was watching my Cousin row the 4-speed from the back seat.
He knew how to speed shift! He was a clone of Ronnie Sox.
