I got cut from work early today because it was dead. I walk out the back door digging out my smokes and sitting there like a mirage is one of my all time favorite muscle cars- a 1970 Plymouth Superbird! For you car nuts out there- you know what a rarity these monsters are. I have never even seen one in person until today. (Plymouth only built 1,920)
My jaw just about hit the ground! I said- "No fucking way!!" She was gorgeous guys! Her paint was this beautiful dark shade of wine/cherry red with the black nose...... I never thought I would ever, ever get to see one of these works of art up close....much less drive one!!
I am standing there just admiring this beautiful machine and I hear this voice behine me( Imagine the people from the movie 'Fargo'- accent just like that.
'Shes a beaut aint she?" I turn around and see this older guy maybe in his mid-50's. I say 'Sir that may be the most beautiful goddamn thing I have ever seen!!" He laughed and offered his hand.."Name's Dennis" (You gotta love people from North Dakota- friendlist people on earth. I am the exception...)
We got to talking about the car. He got as a graduation present and has had it ever since. (Dad was a rich farmer in the 60's and this is no bullshit- if you are smart- you can make some serious money farming.)
I asked him if he was from Fargo and he said he had moved here a couple years ago when he sold the farm and retired. I asked where had farmed at and he said 'Napolean" That explained his accent- no shit, everyone from that part of North Dakota talks just the people from the movie "Fargo" I am serious. "Ya, you betcha!!"
I said-"3 of my great-uncles live outside of Napolean!" He asked their last name and I said "Silbernagel." He eyes got a little wide and says "Johnny, Tony and Joe?" I say "yes, but Joe just passed..." He was quiet for a moment says "Little Billy!!"
I was a little taken back.... Turns out this guy is good friends with all of my uncles and knows my grandmother!! I don't remember him at all as it was nearly 30 years ago, but according to him he would come to Grandmas house quite often and I guess had me on his lap a few times! What the fuck right?? Small world...
So back to the car. I say "Dennis- this may seem odd- but this one of my dream cars. Would it seem odd if I asked to sit in it?" He laughed and said 'hell no! Hop in!" he unlocked the door and I got behind the wheel a car I may actually be tempted to give one of nuts for....
It was beautiful guys- mint condition. It is a numbers-matching all original with the factory.... drumroll please.....426 Hemi! God what a fucking dream! I looked up at him and smiled... he understood and said go for it! he handed me the keys and I fired that motherfucker up!
I don't know how many car guys are here- but this was a wet dream come true! Goddamn that was amazing listening to that bitch rumble.......Pistol grip shifter, perfect interior! Totally original in mint condition. I looked at the odometer-- 45,000 miles! I listened to it purr for a minute and then shut it off. i got out, handed him his keys and said "Dennis- you have just made my week!"
He popped the hood for me and let me drool over that beautiful monster.
He asked me what I was driving... i said 'Just waiting for the bus man..." He said, nah i can give you a lift." No fucking way I was going to turn down a ride in a Hemi Superbird! I started to walk to the passenger side and he says' You want to drive it?"
Oh fuck me this was too goddamn good to be true. But I said "Buddy this one of the rarest and most powerful muscle cars ever built... I don't know..." He said, 'Billy, I knew you when you were still shittiing green! Its only a car."
Only a car! Bite your tongue sir! And so today I got to fulfill a dream I have had since I was a little boy. I got to drive a 1970 Plymouth Superbird... with a fucking HEMI!!!!! Apparently God has something terrible planned for me to give me this..... Probably gonna get testicular cancer next month..... but it so worth it! HA!
we hit I-29 to head up north to my place and he told me'Open it up buddy!"
Guys- I am the happiest motherfucker on planet earth today!!! Have you ever stomped on a Hemi before? My penis is still hard!! Not only that but I got to reconnect with an old family friend... Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, life is OK!
