I cannot believe any young man not wanting a muscle car back in the day, nothing like getting 4.5 MPG during the odd/even gas rationing. Fortunately I had a friend who worked in a junk yard and got me spare plates that matched my make and year. I only drove out of sight to change them. I had a 409 but in number only, it was a 396 bored out to 409. I had a Chevy Impala, but that just had a dyno tested 450hp 327 in it. I probably could have paid cash for my first house if I drove a VW Bug between the ages of 16-20. I blew up more engines than I could count.
