OP, I remember those days well, nice car. So, here is a story for you. In 1978 my father somehow ran across a beautiful red 1968 Firebird that he bought from the owners son of a Ford dealership! I loved the tach in the hood. The car had just come from the drag strip and the time of 10.88 was still on the window. Slicks were just taken off and 50's were put on and the glass pack mufflers were in the trunk. It had a built 400 and auto transmission. I could shift that car at 20 mph and chirp the tires. It ran pretty darn good.
One day I was driving, not speeding or anything, and a cop was going in the opposite direction. He did a u-turn, got behind me, and pulled me over. He proceeded to tell me that he had been looking for this car and that I wasn't the person that he was looking for. The previous owner had several speeding tickets and I guess had been doing some street racing. Thanks for the post, it brought back an interesting memory!
