    Growing up in farm country in the '50s, you could hear stuff quite a way off.
    I could hear Gene's 312 OD Ranchero at least a mile off. Y block pipes with steelpacks are something you never forget.

    Back in the 70’s there was a 1957 Ranchero with 428 SCJ 4-speed in our town. It could hold its own in most street races

    I used to own an altered WB that I was told was built in the 60s and could pull wheelies on the street.
