How about a MoPar powered Chebby , circa 1970.
Mid engine 440, backed up with a 727. It was my uncle'sView attachment 1578548 budget race car. He was about 20 , working at a Dodge dealer.
Hence the name in the car. Lol

Interesting... 'round the little town where I spent my teenage years, the fastest car on the street was very similar - a 55 150 business Coupe with a 440 6 BBL out of a rolled 69 1/2 Roadrunner. Had a flip front fiberglass front end and a 'tube' bumper on back. Was a 4 speed car at first and then TorqueFlite for more consistency and less part breakage. Guy changed colours on the car every so often...

And the article that went with that picture: Gas stations may be waning, but electric cars are on the rise

Even when I remember full service stations (in the 70's) I never saw one that was entirely staffed by women!
