Schweeeet!
My best friend in high school got to drive his Mom's '65 442 to school once in awhile. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't convince him to even spin the tires just a little. He was a very good boy!
It payed off though, because his Mom gave it to him when he graduated (1985). I don't think he ever drove it hard.
Good luck getting the car of your dreams (the 2nd time)
