Biggrin Hemi Coronet 4 door (orig.)

That's right. I owned it back in '77-'82! We surprised all the locals and a straglers with that car. The only give-away was the SS hoodscoop and the oil pan hangin' low, with the headers. One particular story stands out. We had the Coronet loaded up with five of us and had just cruised onto the local strip around dusk. I think it was a big block Cammio pulled up along side gearin' down to low to race the engine. The 2 guys in it were pointing over at, I assume, the hood scoop, and almost beside themselves with laughter, flogged the camaro and squirted away. Well, the look of shock, when 5 guys in a brown 4-door blasted by them, and we all know what the elephant sounds like with both carters standing on end! That cammio followed us around for 1/2 an hour trying to find out what had blown them away so badly.
