This is the correct flavor of milk chocolate goodness. 😏

And drive standard transmission....don't forget that superpower.
Drive a stick in city traffic while eating a donut drinking a coffee and hanging onto a cigarette. Ran sticks in my trucks till I could no longer buy them. Looking at one up the road 92 Cummins Dodge. If I do get it will be a frame off resto.
 
First car I drove before I was even legal was a Rambler American with three on the column.
My first as well!! 1968 Rambler American in vomit brown with a bench front seat; that thing ran so quiet you had to pop the hood and see if the radiator fan was turning to tell if it was on. To this day, probably the best car I ever owned.

Had a 72 dodge van with a 360 in it.
Thermoquad,direct connection cam,hooker headers 3.5” pipes to old school turbo mufflers.
Manual steering manual brakes no AC.
Three on the tree you could hear it idling a hundred yards away.
Wife used to love driving that thing.
My dad had one, I think it was a 75. It ran great until it started blowing freeze plugs. I guess the Midwest salt was eating thru them.

Had a '69 Ford E-100 van. Blueprinted the engine, converted the transmission to four on the tree, with a separate reverse lever on the floor. Low end torque cam, 2 barrel carb, changed the rear end ratio and added larger tires. 27 mpg going up hill with medium load, at 42 mph.
So much torque, that twice I spun the clutch while the clutch was fully engage, just by adding more throttle. Ran better uphill than on the flats. Did one trip to Alaska, plus 6 to Baha Mexico.
