not a Mopar, but I'm proud of it

Beautiful! Nice color combo...I've always liked the 57...one of my fathers friends (Charlie) had one while I was growing up. (hardtop belair, 400 small block all beefed up, 4 speed. aerodynamics of a shoebox.

Dad, myself and Charlie were out driving it one day...back roads in Idaho...they pulled over and asked me if I'd like to drive it..16 years old been driving for about 1-2 years...HELL YEAH!

I get in..they start talking to me about how its a close ratio..don't shift it into 4th from first...blaa blaa...

I nail it...burn out, smokes'um, gets tractions and halls a$$..I get up to about a 100 back off...both of their eyes are wide open... My dad ask me..."hooow did you learn to shift like that? I don't know, dad?
Funny!? all I could think of is the old ferd truck dad had that I learn to drive in with granny gears... you could start from a dead stop in 4th gear...long shift throw..

The looks on their faces was priceless....

thanks for the pictures...that was a nice memory for me....Sorry if I hijacked.

Again nice 57!

Aloha!
