  1. I had one of these “notch back” GT’s when I was in the US Army, stationed at Ft. Devens, MA: Bought it in 1974 when I was 19! It came with a 351W with a 2 bbl carb, a “3 on the tree” shifter and bench seats. The guy from whom I bought it, modified it a bit: 850 cfm Holley 4 bbl carb (yeah, overkill I know), dual point distributor, “mild” cam, heavy duty clutch, and headers w/ straight pipes behind glass packs. The girl I was dating at the time lived 4 blocks away in a different set of barracks. When I would drive over to see her, she would always be waiting at the door. When I asked her how she knew I was coming, she said, “Are you kidding? When you light that thing up, everyone on post knows you’re on the way!” I sold it when gas went to 55 cents a gallon because I couldn’t afford it. I have pined for that car ever since!
