Cool story Don,,,,,,,,,not many 18 year olds that have had a chance for a  
factory backed race car,,,,,,I also worked for a Rambler dealer, in 67-68, the  
body man at the dealership was a drag racer, (sorta,,,,ran a 55 chevy shoebox  
with a big block)at any rate, when I started working there I had a 65 fury 
III  426/4sp which none of the ramblers could touch, in 68 we started getting 
some  Javelins with 390 4 speeds in, and the little lite weights could get me in 
the  1/4, however I would pass them about 7-8 car lengths after the 1/4.   
the first couple times we tried running them, the driver on the Javelin broke  
off the shifter handle, so we took and old Hurst handle, and welded a plate on  
it to bolt to the shifter in the javelin, curing that problem shortly after 
that  I traded the Fury in on a new Roadrunner 383/4sp,,,,,,,,,,,that ended the 
 javelins carreer, they could not touch the B-body  smile,,,,,,,,,,,,I think  
that I still have that old shifter handle laying around some  where
