Never drove a little red express . last CAR i owned was a 1971 Duster 340 ,ya want fast it was like Burger King as it took to hands to handle it . 0-70 in 4 seconds run the quarter in a 13.23 and over 107 mph , if you were not of sound mind and had the stones to keep it flat footed in around 3/4 of a mile she would plant the needle to the bottom past 150 . Of the line it was faster then any hemi till about half track then ya know what went on by. But for us outlaw kids that did the light to light street thing it put the whippen on all commers . I had a friend who early in life was climbing the corporate ladder and bought himself a brand new vett with the 427 tri power . Market st . Friday evening around 10:30 he happens to pull up next to me i did not it was him Marvin was setting there reving his engine and i looked over and it was Oh i know this guy wow how did he come up with enough money to buy that . Marv looks over and see's me and Points , OK lets get it and the light turned green he side steps his clutch and i just plant my foot on the floor and i left him . Next light he wants to go again SOO we did it again with the same results . Went on down Market St and turned on 224 and went to the Red barn , here comes Marv fumeing mad HOW could a 3500 dollar car stomp on his over 6 k car with a 427 tri power . 71 was the last year for performance cars or i should say engines . when the 72 models arrived but let down across the board . At that time in life i was working as a parts manager for this area's largest Chrysler Plymouth dealership as a manager i got a demo and as a stocking performance parts dealer i always had a performance car , some hemi's some 440-6 pac's lots of 383 -440 had a aar cuda . with our first shipment of 72's i snagged a GTX off the first load and the service manager and i did the predelivery on it as soon as detail was done cleaning it up and had to take it for a test drive , It was a DOG i mean a dead DOG would not even light the tire up . Grandma could drive it in the snow. Dead.
