had a 55 2dr chev back in the 70-s raced it, 396 375. crazy fast, wrecked it. no brakes, got-da have brakes, mystery motor is plowing a wave of air like a barge pushing water. raced a 56 2dr ford with a 292 Y block bore 312, old cop car, being not much more than 22 or so, I didn't know at the time the old y block in the beginning only went to law enforcement. when we stripped the car paint, we found police and leaded in holes, whip antenna. live & learn. even had a hole by the wind shield for a spot light. fun days, cheap fun, I never put a lot of money in to a car, they all came & went quickly.

That black 2 dr. Galaxie 500 hardtop at 1:12-1:13 was our family car, except ours was a 4 dr. with a 390(can tell by the little Thunderbird with cross flags badges on behind the front tires on the rockers). I know my cars and the early '60's Fords were very stylish. Every year was a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAR, even down to the design of the dash! The sixties were the last true cars. In the seventies, the designs of the year models changed less and starting in the early '70's, the smog emission controls almost did them in, as far as horsepower was concerned.

What is the guy in the 65 Tempest thinking? When I first same him come up to the line with his high profile whitewall tires I figured it must be a 389 at least. Then he runs high 16's. I think that's slow even for a 326 with Powerglide.
