RE: We Weep At The Passing Of A Bygone Era

I haven't taken my 70 Impala convertible out in the last 2 years, mostly due to gas prices. But then again, I shoehorned in an overbored 454 (now 462 CI) with a Holley double pumper. Yes, today's sports cars are faster and handle better, but there is something about a big fat sports car with a sophisticated suspension that feels real good.

And it gets better mileage than my old 67 RS Camaro (flipping headlights) convertible that I used to have. That only had a small block (327 from a Vette), but it had 11.25:1 compression and a 365/365 solid lifter cam in it, and was balanced to spin at 10 grand. 6 mpg around town on high octane airplane fuel.


Triamp... Take a load off!
