I’ve seen both Doc Watson and Earl Scruggs live. Saw Earl several times.
There was a place in Johnson City called the Down Home and Doc would come over the mountain at least once a month and play, saw him a bunch, great guy. Also went to Merle Fest a few times in N. Wilksboro on Doc's farm. This was over 30 years ago.
 
I didn't even know a convertable version existed, my friend growing up had a ss that had been a police interceptor, it was repainted an ugly brown color, and had the police shock upgrades etc. Looked ugly as hell, and only thing that gave it away was the damn expensive racing tires on the back. He's do teh old put a 20 on the dash and if you could grab it you could keep it, and hit the gas...never saw anyone get the 20. One of the best sleepers i have known first hand.
Had a HS friend with a '73 Z28. Beautiful candy apple red, black stripes and 7 coat hand rubed lacquer finish. Was gonna buy it from him in '82 for $3000 and he sold it before I got my 68 sold. His parents had money. He had the 350 pulled and in a crate and ran it with a 427. Typical off the line big block but if he kicked it from a 20mph rolling start you'd piss your britches.

Also had a friend in college in Abilene with a stock TA 6.6. We now know the HP was meager by today's standard but back then it was the bomb. The ride to Dallas could have 5-6+ mile stretches of flat and straight runs. He pegged 160 in the dark and you could still feel power pulling. I was having a panic attack.
