great article. brought back all the memories. I did not live far from Dukes and we were there all the time. In 77 we were always checking out the cool disco conversion vans at Rizza chevrolet across the street. I was not into muscle cars then (it happens) like I am now. My friends would be there with our foreign cars in 77 when this article happened. I had a fiat spider I took there and it got girls attention while hanging out. Then I got a TR7 in 79 and lowered it, painted it with black imron and hung out there even more as the car was killer under the yellow lights at night. those were good times. The food was the best and the cars that showed up were amazing to look at.
Again, thanks for posting. I do remember going there after racing my dad's 70 wildcat right after I got my license and rolling in there with the brakes steaming and everyone thought there was something wrong with the car. I am lucky I am not dead from that night with a car full of guys, none of us knew how to drive well, but just were stupid with our 8 tracks blasting and not thinking.
Some crazy muscle cars rolled through there. I am sure I saw that Chevelle.
