It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

i had one of those once but that was a long time ago.
New to me! I remember and used many “Cherry Bombs”. Still makin’ ‘em today!
I was 5 months old in may of '70.
So, no, I wasn't man enough...
I had them mufflers ( no comment on the model other than different times and sex sells ) along with the other popular ones back in the day cherry bombs and purple horney's my most used set was just open headers or a set of strait 4" pipes about 30" long on the back of my headers ( still have them there cut off drive shafts with a header flange welded on ) all the LEO use to just to shake there head and smile . lucky I never got a ticket over loud exhaust but made up for it with speeding tickets LOL
Unfortunately, I never owned one, but I always thought a '68, '69 or '70 Corvette with Lake Pipes to be the HOT ticket of that era. Lake Pipes still look good today !
I had the Hooker header side pipes on my vette. Nice pleasing exhaust note .
Wow, that ad takes me back a ways!
I had cherry bombs on a Sunbeam Tiger with a built HiPo 289, Sanderson headers, race cam and solid lifters. At idle it sounded like a nuclear popcorn popper.
"I had cherry bombs on a Sunbeam Tiger ............"
A friend of ours just bought one in excellent condition. I'd never realized there might still be some around. There's a Carroll Shelby autograph somewhere in the engine compartment. Nice ride!
I had one of those once. Cost me a lot of money. I also had that exhaust too
In those days I was lucky to have a muffler on my pieces of crap.
TRust me at making a whopping 1.35 a hour then a huge jump to 1.65 and working 20 to 25 hours a week liking fast cars and girls pay checks did not go very far
I hate to say it now but my car was always priority back then
I got huge break around 1977 or so got a construction job I think it started at 12.00 or so a hour . Had a few extra dollars for the girls
Short story when I met my wife to be I had just blown the engine in my camaro
So picking out a set of wedding rings i had just enough to rebuild my BBC engine and buy the rings she wanted
She still tells people I paid for a engine and what was left I got her rings.
It worked out i still have her and the 69 camaro but it's had a few more engines since then (the car)not the wife lol
