My first muscle car was a 1969 Javelin SST with the 390 v8, 4 speed, delivered to my base in Italy direct from the factory. When my wife would leave the main gate enroute to the highway the gate guards would call me, tell me my wife was leaving the base, and hold the phone out the door. I could hear her catch rubber in 1st and 2nd as she hit the highway, and then run to 3rd and 4th. And, yes, she still drives that way. The only person I know to be cited for speeding in Germany, during our last tour from '79 to '82.! A 1979 Mustang Cobra, 5.0, 4 speed, tuned by the Ford dealer in Frankfurt to Euro specs. Still married, just celebrated our 50th. They are keepers.
