@4spdBernie i meant cover the clutch pedal. i always heard it you could apply pressure not knowing it and excessively wear the clutch. but you probably know know more about it than me

What kind of exhaust is on this car? Can't be stock, sounds like glasspacks.

Very nice! Reminds me of the '66 Cyclone GT I had in '75 when I was 16 years old. 390 + C6 tranny. Cardinal red with black interior. Buckets. Floor shift. It even had the factory chrome valve covers that said "390 Cyclone GT" on them! It had 47K miles on it when I got it. Garage kept and looked showroom. Had dents in the back from getting rear-ended but was cherry otherwise. 500 bucks. Kept it for four years & sold it for 400. Gas crisis... Anyway, thanks for the nostalgia!!

@localcrew Thanks for that GREAT note! Those were the times - $500 would get you a helluva COOL ride! I'll mention the nice Judge cvt or Boss 302 a co-worker had for a summer back in th late '70s - $3000 apiece...

you are really good at riding the clutch.

@MangoSmoothie16 "Riding the clutch" is the act of neither releasing the clutch nor engagaing it fully. I may "double clutch", and I do "cover the clutch pedal" Ride I do not.Ck out my vids again. Enjoy!
