It was 1965, I just graduated from HS and paid $400 out of my bank account for a "modified" 1955 chevy 2 door. It began life as a 6 cylinder with 3 on the column but when I got it, it had an ~340 hp 327, hurst shifter stuck through the floorboards and a 455 posi rear and a cheap coat of burgundy paint and cut out rear wheel wells. It went like hell leaving two lines of rubber in 3rd gear. But only last about 6 mo. Can't imagine why.
