BATTLE WITH A JAGUAR
“I’m driving from Homer to New Orleans one day, my wife and me. I was
doing about 75 or 80, and I’m looking in my rearview mirror and see this
Jaguar coming up on me, an XKE. I think it was silver, and he was getting
closer and closer, and I told her, I said, ‘This Jaguar is coming up on us.’
She says, ‘If you let that Jaguar pass us, I’m turning this car in.’ I floored it
and my speedometer went all the way around past the 120 all the way to
the bottom. I looked in the mirror, and I didn’t see the Jaguar anymore. So
that was rewarding for me because I’d get to keep my car.”QAnother modification from days gone by sure
to turn heads is the fiberglass Corvette L
hoodscoop added in the 1970s.QThe March 1969
MotorTrend cover helped
launch the Boss 302,
and it probably had
something to do with
Bright Yellow being the
most popular color for
the Boss 302 in both
1969 and 1970.QThad Landaiche (left) tried
to purchase the Boss 302 from
Reggie Verret. The car isn’t for sale.
Thad invited Reggie to participate
in local Mustang club activities,
where he could show his car and
get help from members.RAREFINDS
