My 1st ride was a '76 pearl white Malibu wagon with slotted mag wheels. With the wagon's substantial rear weight, I could pull a rockford any time I wanted. Until the day I rolled a tire off the rim and chipped one of my mag wheels.
After that I went to a '72 Duster with the 318. It laid rubber much better than the Malibu but I missed the station wagon when it came time to park with the girlfriend.
