Haha, that is a great story!
Same thing happened to me in my 65 SS with my old powerglide. I was in high school, and driving into town with my brother, going 60mph. He had his cell phone sitting on my center console. Phone rings and he aggressively reached down to grab it and hits my shifter and knocks it into reverse!
Wheels lock up and we start sliding. Noise from tranny sounds like an active battle field. Without skipping a beat, I quickly pull it back into drive, correct the steering and put her back in the lane.
He answers the phone and starts casually talking, and sheepishly looks over at me, with a slight grin, shaking my head.
Drove that combo for another 10 years, and not so much as a hiccup out of the tranny.
