Gosh that's sweet. My favorite Chevy of all time was the '66 Impala, even though I never had a '66 myself. Parents had '61, '64, '65, '66, and '70 Impalas. I had a '58 Impala, and 396 '68 and '69 Impalas, but never a '66. '68 and '69 396, '70 402, and '71 454 Elcaminos. My brother had a '69 396 Chevelle, and a cousin a '69 427 Chevelle. Mr. Hopper down the road had a '69 L88 Vette, and Tim and Pat Marshall had their Camaros and Novas. Most everyone we knew had Chevys, even the Stamper kid that had a '68 Camaro with a 250 inline that could lift the front tires off the ground when we got done with it. We were swappin 427's for 396's like drinkin sodas, and if the 302 Camaro got beat, home to swap in a 327 and back out in about 2 hours. That Stamper kid though, he liked that 250 inline, and it could giddy up, but was no real match. Did go to high school though with a kid that inherited his grandmother's fully loaded '66 396 Caprice, but he just wouldn't let us touch that thing. It was sharp...black vinyl over blue. Was sweet.
Thanks for the memories. What happened to them days? Was even a kid down the road bought a new '70 429SCJ Torino, and Buddy with his '69 440 six pack Road Runner, but were no match for even a L78 Camaro. Dogs, both dogs. Now Donnie with his '69 Road Runner and GTX, both Hemis were tough. I have to admit that they were tough. Real tough. And was some kid with a '69 Hemi GTS Dart that used to come visit a neighbor girl that was tough too. That car would lift the front, then the back, and then just bounce them front tires down the road. 427's would take it though. Was no nitrous back then, only know how to build motors and M22's to twist as far as could.
Gosh, thanks for the memories. I do sincerely appreciate them. Thanks again, and happy New Year. I'll sleep with a smile on my face tonight thanks to you. Memories.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
