I still have my '71 Dodge Demon 340 that I ordered from the factory in June of '71 when I was 20 years old. It started out as a street car then an AHRA Stock Option racer then an IHRA Stocker then Super Stocker and finally an NHRA Super Stocker. I have had it in storage since 1987. I look at it almost every day.Oh yeah it has 15,003 original miles on it. Many many memories! Jim

Although it wasn't my first , selling my Ventura was a huge mistake and I wish I had it back today ..............

Bought a 64 Plymouth in 72. Been racing it since then. The old Max Wedge has been a lot of fun. It's broken about everything that can be broken but then that's what it's all about.

Scotty D,,, One of the things I've regretted over the years was selling my '66 Nova SS. It was a 327, 4speed, 557 geared wheelstanding ball of fun back in the 70s and 80s. If you have one now and have an irreplaceable opportunity to do something with your kids involving the car, I'd say jump into Stock with it,(something else I never did) and enjoy the learning curve with your family. How can you go wrong? By the time your young man is ready to drive, think of the experiences you will have shared, and how big his "ball of knowledge' will be. My 2 cents,,,have fun with your Chevy II!
