I was trying to catch up on some reading and found an article in the January 2017 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines called "The Class of 86".

Being in my mid 20's at that time I was interested to see how similar their antics and cars were compared to my group in CT. (Story was about northern New Jersey car owners)

Hopefully you might find it as enjoyable as I did in reminding me of those crazy days.

Only regret I have is not taking more pictures or having pictures that survived a few moves across country. Would have loved to have had digital photography then! Oh well, at least I had a state of the art cassette player! WooHoo!

That issue also has an article on a full resto of an SC360. In 1986, I traded my SC360 (Electric Blue 4spd/4bbl/ram air w/black stripes) + $6500 cash for a National Councours winning 1968 390 AMX (which went on to win the Milestone cup in Detroit in the early 1990s). I paid $2,500 in 1982 for that SC360 and daily drove it to high school and my first year of college. It was is way better shape than the car was restored in the article (it won a "Gold award" at the AMC nationals in 1985). That car looks like it needed a ton of work.

After spending it looks like a bout $100K on the resto, he is going to find that original, impossible to find Motorcraft carb is a complete POS and will swap on a Holley if he intends to actually drive it.

Thanks for the link. I saw that the article was not part of the free section online and figured a few on here read the magazine or could look it up at store.
