I had a Camaro with a 454 when I was about 18. I put a lot of work into building it, so I had some restraint, but I also used to bet people a tank of gas that it would spin the tires in all four gears. So Yay luck!

Proclivities wrote: Yes, you probably were very fortunate to have survived with such a tempting vehicle - especially at that age. The green shades were pretty popular back then - it seems like the Ford/Mercury green was a little lighter (or "yellower") than the GM/Pontiac green (I'm a little fuzzy on it, but I had a few friends who restored old muscle cars years back and they had the paint formulas and samples). I guess those shades aren't as popular these days, though Kia and Ford (among others) do have sort of metallic "Day-Glo" greens on some of their models.
