Those 'v6v' dayglow orange stripes are absolutely perfect with the black paint. Kudos to the original owner for checking that particular option on this black beauty! The photographer also did a great job featuring them as well. Visually I would say this is your best video ever!

Believe it or not, my high school had these and I learned to drive in one, in 1971, in Driver Training. I turned right ona a red light and had to gun it to stay ahead of the car that was coming. I got points taken off. "Gee, Teach, what are all those horses for, if not for this?" (I should have said, but I didn't).

Hei, nice video again! Very informative like always. I’ve learned a lot of american cars through your videos. There is although one thing I’d change, I would turn the music down a bit and give more space for engine sounds. It would be nice to hear properly the idle sound of the engines, the rumbling. And the revving too. Now sometimes the background music covers the motors maybe too much. But other than that great videos, keep the coming!

@gordongreninger6109 6 жыл бұрын

Veikko Lappalainen Around 2:50 he mentions the forged crank spinning in a 2blt block. I find this a bit missleading in a historical sense. All of your 440s regardless of hp 67-72 are based on grannys base model 440 found in C bodys. Chryslers foundrys are famous for churning out superior castings. Less core shift, superior metalurgical mix, etc.

I would actually rather have a Cougar Eliminator BOSS 302 but they are much more rare than a BOSS 302 Mustang. Was never a big fan of Mustangs.

@@jeremythompson9122 I like the style of the early Mustangs, but as a mechanic, it's all about the drive train for me. The pinnacle of early mustangs is the BOSS 429. Other than that, the only Mustang I would want is a 67 GT500 with a 427 side oiler, but I don't think they ever put one in a Mustang from the factory.

I'm not referring to today's autos set up for drag racing. Our club still races some of the old mussel cars of that era, some of the guys have have old GTOs and SS chevells ect. that race each other a few times a year. Plus a manual is so much more fun to drive.

Way back in the day when I was in high school a buddy of a buddy bought one with a four speed. One afternoon after classes they come whipping around the corner...I jumped in for an initiation. All I remember is him down shifting @ 70 mph punching it and bringing it sideways. We show back up at the house and my old man is waiting in the driveway...we simultaneously gulped and muttered "oh shit"... my father takes one look and says to me "you will never get in that car again." I didn't and my buddy's buddy sold it a month later and bought a Volkswagen. True.

Around 1976 i visited a Mopar nut outside of Winnipeg,Mb.and he had a black on black 70' Challenger 440-6 4 gear and this guy loved my Plumb Crazy 71' Duster 340-4 gear. He wanted to trade his car if gave him another $3,000. I said are you NUTS and i turned him down. You gotta remember....this was in the age where you could buy a Hemi RR for cheap. Well the guy who bought the car next week was none other than Eddie Balfour who was goalie for the Chicago Black Hawks,Dallas Stars and Toronto as he grew up just south of us. The car is in the U.S. right now and Eddie is restoring Challengers,Cuda's and Mopars till this day!
