No powersteering, no air conditioning, no cd player, power windows, hard on gas and its loud. This thing is so impractical. I WANT ONE!

@zuben7o7 Wow, he still owns it. That in itself is incredible. Man, it's just wonderful that a guy who is 76 will still mow the gears and get the grins a bit. Gives me hope. What a joy to watch.

@naderchaser Actually he still owns the car. Our friend Jody Aberts has been keeping it up in Baltimore past year or so. Time to bring her south to Atlanta again. In this video, he is 76. Still turning!

My name is Gene Wilson Jr. Phil and my father were friends years ago. My father passed away in 1969. I still have pictures that Phil sent me as a child.

He was building one badass Chevy Monza at the time. 1978? I was drivin' my '66 GTO to work at the body shop down the street. 389, 3x2, 4spd, 4:33 posi...stock, 13.23.
