In 1966 my daily driver was a blue metallic 1966 Pontiac Catalina coupe [389 2 bbl auto] that I had purchased with both quarter panels damaged & repaired. Drove it to Galveston Tx on vacation. My drag race driver was a 1966 GTO purchased as a theft recovery [no motor or trans] installed a 389 4 bbl & turbohydro for F-2 BS/A [N.A.D.S. rules] Only got to race it a couple of times at Tri-State Dragway, Kahoka, MO before I received the letter from Uncle Sam. Later that year my daily driver became a 5-ton dump truck around Long Binh, Saigon & the Iron Triangle at Xmas.
