It can be done with a 3.55, a 110, and a Powerglide... and a tailwind!

My '64 Greenbrier put the needle past 100 mph on a nice, long, 
straight, downhill stretch of Interstate back in the 70s, on a day 
with a strong tailwind blowing and at a time when I was stupider than 
I am now.  If I had been diverted from my course it would still be 
flipping today!  Instead, I'm still driving it today, 41 years after 
this particular van entered my life.
