you got that right!

Back in late '66, I was in school in Milwaukee...and had a street 427 #3208. My classmates used to call it the Red Lemon. One day it was in for something (always something) at Northwestern Ford there in Milwaukee. While walking around and waiting, I noticed they had up on a pedestal a new 'blue with white stripe' 427 SC for sale for $8700 or thereabouts. Chatting with another customer, an older guy, I can remember him raving at how outlandish the price was...and then how crazy he thought I was when I told him he ought to buy it and just put it in a storage container. One of the few truly smart thoughts I had back then at such a tender age...
