    Very nice. Is that a 69 or 70 ? Where is it now ?

    I almost bought a pro-street challenger built by none other than "big daddy" don gartlis' shop. Very nice but it was old school and had a nasty whine in the rear end.

    I used to have a '69 nova that was 585hp

    One hell of a fun ride! It's funny how a girl can come a long and a guy can be content to trade it for a marriage liscense.
