Car stories....and I mean stories

I had a friend that had a 1970 GTX with 3.55 gears. It had a bad motor in it. He found a 383-2 out of a 71 Newport with 2.76 gears. We installed the engine and trans from the Newport. Didn't change the speedo gear. He always bragged how it would run 120 in the quarter. He couldn't comprehend that he wasn't really going that fast.
When I switched to 3:55s in my ol 68 Coronet, with a built ( my first build!) 383 Mag, you could be rolling at around 75, ***** slap her down into 3rd, She'd jump Hard! then pop 4th again, Dude, the lights on I- 275 were whipping past Ya. And that's No BS... I scare most passengers...
