1966 Chevrolet Impala 2 Door
This car became mine when Greg went off to college. In turn, it became Keith's when I went to school as well. I think my dad bought it for $100 or something like that. It was very basic, not 
nearly as nice as this one. It did have a decent 327 V8, but a 3 on the tree transmission. The interior was pretty shot, but during my tenure I significantly upgraded the stereo system.
One night coming home from school, I was dropping my friend Russ off at his house. I pulled up to the curb and we both heard a clunk from the engine compartment. Then big flywheel looking thing rolled down the street from underneath the car. I jumped out, grabbed it and drove the couple of blocks home. Turns out that what flew off the engine was the harmonic balance wheel. As I learned, this counter-balanced the flywheel as it was connected (or supposed to be) to the front end of the crankshaft. On front of that was the main pulley for the fan, waterpump and alternator. A fairly significant piece of the big block puzzle...and it had come flying off the car...and I still drove it! My dad was a little hacked about that. We looked around to see how much it would cost to fix it...and it was huge bucks. Would've had to replace the crank and whole bunch of stuff. So we did the enterprising thing and used a new fangled product that had just hit the market in 1979...super glue. I super-glued this flywheel thing on to the end of the crankshaft, and it stayed on there for quite a while. It fell off a few more times, but we always just stopped the car and re-glued it back on.
