Tom, now you had a rare Chevy. I would kill for that car. However, friends have told me that my '67 Biscayne would lift the front tires on a good day with a good shift. I had a nice old '50 flathead Ford that would also get one front tire off the ground on a 1-2 shift. It had an extremely strong 10" clutch assembly and a stock steel flywheel that helped to get those front wheels off the ground. I was going to lunch one day from my office and lifted the front wheels on the Biscayne with an officer of the law coming in the opposite direction. He turned around to confront me, so I turned around. We did the u-turns once more and he gave up. I think he was low on gas, headed to the county fuel facility.
