Well, I guess I'll add my memories to this too. My high school car was a 1958 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe. One year older then me. It only had a 283 and powerglide but I liked it just the same. Got into Mopar's while in the Air Force until I was about to be discharged then built a V8 Vega. Traded it off for a 67 post Chevelle with a 283 and powerglide. That didn't last long though after the frozen hell of an Ohio winter without antifreeze. (DUMB!!!!) Mostly stayed with Chevy's through out my life. Now I have an 82 short bed that will become a long bed/wheel base blazer/Avalanche crossover. It has an integral head 250 which will get changed out with a turbo'ed EFI 250 I have on the stand. I'm so glad I've made it to 48 years young and really do look forward to 50 in a short two years now. I've bought modern now with a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer with what else, a 4.2L Straight Six!!!!!!! Look forward to meeting the fine poeple of the NEW North Texas Inliners Club. I want to meet the ones from the orginal club too!!!!!!!!!!!
