Went to look at buying a '70 Chevelle during high school lunch hour once in 1979.Seller said she runs,but had the interior all taken out & didn't have the shifter hooked up either. So he locked on a pair of vice grips through the hole in the floor tunnel so we could shift the TH400.No front or rear seats at all either.So we used 2 milk crates for us to sit on,and off we went.Rocking back & forth as we did hole shots.Cop pulled us over as we flew down a street within 10 minutes...Took one look at us sitting on plastic milk crates and him with his right hand on the vise grips and burst out laughing.Said he couldn't find it in his heart to right us up,but told us to go straight home,which we did.I ended up buying the car..
