'68 Camaro A/MP race car

[Keith Tedford]

I had M/T cheater slicks on my '68 Ram Air Firebird for a short time. The car had pretty well everything done to it and still be "stock". I couldn't make those slicks hook up no matter what I did and the car certainly wasn't making A/MP horsepower. Getting on and off the gas in low could get the wheels up a bit, (so a friend told me). I tend to agree with Kim. There were a lot of smoke and mirrors magazine articles back then. Remember the GTO Ferrari comparison where the GTO blew the Ferrari away. I'll have to get into the attic and drag out all the old magazines that I have stashed away. You tend to forget all the good old stuff in them. I've always taken magazine articles as entertainment and nothing more. Works for me.

Looking at that wheelie I remember back in grade 11 math class in 1972 staring out the class windows watching muscle cars coming in and out of the parking lot during class. Guess thats why I had a 51% average in class. I drive by the school often and just smile when I look at the parking lot and think back to the day. The school had a 50 year homecoming last year and all the car guys from school 35 years ago showed up in the cars they own today. My 68 Z,2 -427 vettes,mustangs galore,440 cuda,roadrunner,and some early novas.

I do the same thing you do. Always thinking about the old days. You drive by several places. Closed up gas stations and factories, etc. and remember seeing what was parked in the lots as you drove buy or left school or work each day. My old memory is always working. I do this to jar it loose at times.

Yes those were the days,39 a gallon for high test and a set of slicks for under 100 bucks, and then we had to grow up.
