Yes.  It's probably why we like one another.  (-:  Did you get the PDF file

I sent you a picture of my '57 Bel Air.  It's turquoise, unless my eyes are
really failing me.  I had many good times in that car.

I wouldn't expect a stock Plymouth to hold a candle going up against a stock Chevy.

I had what amounted to a '57 Corvette engine in the Bel Air after we made
some modifications to it (Edelbrock 3-pot intake manifold, 3-2bbl Rochester
carbs with the front and rear modified and with progressive linkage, Engle
3/4 race cam, Mallory dual-point distributor, 10:1 compression, solid
lifters, etc).
