This is a "going to Cordova to the drag races with my big brother song". Mid 60's, 1950 ford with a fresh 53 flathead, 4" mercury crank, 2 strombergs, alternator, harmon collins mag, offy intake and edelbrock heads. There must have been 10 pounds of barn dirt on the floor, it took about 20 miles to blow it all out the windows.
It had a 3 speed overdrive, on the second shift, the knob crumbled in his hand. Better than any episode of roadkill.
