Awesome muscle cars in that era. I thank God everyday for my dream car, a 73 SD-455 Trans am that I had since I was 19 years old, and now I’m 62 and still own it. 🙏

I'll take that Boss 429 please!!!

I always loved the 1968-1971 cars, Olds 442, Chevelle, Corvette Stingray, Camaro's, The chargers, all of them were beautifully created

I grew up in that era. Most wonderful time. I was into sports cars, like my Datsun 200. Dad had a 64-1/2 Plymouth Barracuda. Bare bones, no A/C, no radio but fast. Friend had a GTO, frighteningly fast. If I could go back to those days, I would buy a few of those cars off the showroom and hide them until 2020.

MCOTW good to have you back, you’ve been missed !

In 1969 my Dad bought me a new Mustang 428 Cobra Jet Shaker Hood. The car was a monster. You literally could not floor it from a standing stop without burning rubber and fish tailing all over the place. You really had to know how to handle the car. In 1973 I returned it to my Dad where he sold it for a mere $3,500. Wish I still had it.

I wish I owned all ten cars featured! I really do!! Nice to see you guys and "MCofTW" back in action, you've been missed!!!

Memories...I turned 18 in 1969...my first car was a ‘65 Comet with a straight 6 that I seem to recall was unable to make it to 60 mph.

Am from the Netherlands and i drove a golf gti 16v , now i dont drive anymore cause i have Ms , but since i watch these episodes , man i love those v8's . :-)

Awesome, Kevin, great to have you back! Certainly a list of the fastest day one cars of 1969 but I rarely saw those as the day two mods were always quickly installed. :)

First of all, I'm glad you're back as it's been a while since you last uploaded. And thanks for putting this together. As a Mopar guy who loves Roadrunners and 426 Hemis, I couldn't be happier. Meep-Meep!! 😎

Dude you’ve been missing for a while...got me a little bit worried...😉

Glad to have you back!!! Been missing y'all big time!

I definitely remember this well! Still have alot of those road test articles. Great stuff! Still a muscle car enthusiast today! Always great 👍🏁

Dang, I miss those era of cars! I'm a die hard Mopar fan and am not surprised to see 5 out of 10 being Mopars! One of my favorites is the 67 Baracuda with the 340. With slightly higher gears I could beat almost any big blocks out on Woodward Ave, yes, THAT Woodward Ave in Royal Oak, Michigan.

Very well done! Thanks for bringing back all those memories

Welcome back! Great video as always!

Great to see you posting again! Good stuff and always interesting.

Wow, all these cars on the list are beautiful! Those were some great times! I think it would be interesting to see another list with a slight change, all of them having the same gear ratio. Anyway I appreciate the time you took to make this. Great video, keep it up!

Thanks for the trip back in time. All beautiful cars on this list.

Great video! Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Great to see you guys again. Thanks for the walk back in time. Loved the Mopars back then.

All great cars, my favorite was my 69 GTX ,440 Magnum! It not only looked fast and the 150 speedometer showed its incredible top end. The thought of buying a muscle car for 3,900. Reminds me why we say (the good old days). Thanks for the great video!

I still have my dads 695&0 GTX , it has 59,624 original miles. He bought it when he got back from Vietnam. I got it in 85 when he died. I was on leave from Lebanon,.

That was great! Thanks, enjoyed it.

Great episode, looking forward to more. No mention of the ZL1 Camaro?

Ya missed the 69 Dart GTS with the 440.....12.7 seconds on skinny rubber @ 112 MPH. They made more of these than the L88 Vette.

How about a top 10 list from every year from 64 to 71?

Where you been? Great episode to come back with though! Thanks for a great trip down memory lane.

Love your videos, good to see ya back!!!

Outstanding! Missed MCOTW - glad you’re back. And to think I just finished your last podcast on my way home from work.

You're looking great Kevin, and nice to have u back again. I was 20'ish when those legends were born and lusted after each and every one. Some years hence I was lucky enough to have a copy of the GT500 (vert) on the lift as you talked. Was really a great time to be alive. Tnx for sharing.

Thanks for making this interesting and informative video 👍🏻

My favorite muscle car channel of all time. Welcome back my friends!💪

There were a lot of choices in 1969 if you wanted to go fast huh? I would love to have any one of them in my opinion they are all street legends

I grew up during the muscle car era and thought these cars were fast.Then I drove a hellcat charger,OMG.

Just glad you guys make these you have our support! “Community not Competition” Crew

The 69 A12 road runner was the quickest car of 69

Yay, a new video. Good to see you back again Kevin.

Love the Mercury Cyclone CJ428. Very underrated.

Ah, the good ‘ol days. I miss ‘em! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I'll take at least one of each.

Great trip down memory lane!

Love all of it Can't go wrong with any of them Beautiful American Muscle

At the age of 19, in 1970, I had a '68 Roadrunner with a 426/ dual fours, four speed, all factory! I can still hear that cross over muffler system! Dad had to sign the loan and he only ask me what engine was in it, and I said " a v8 ". When he got to see the engine, and seen it was a real go fast he said, " I ought to kick your a** , but I noticed He was grinning as he walked away!

I'm a Ford guy. And I can say that back in 69-71 Mopars had the best selection of muscle cars. Anything big block Mopar was deadly. Even there GTS darts were stout running machines. GM also had an array of cars to pick from. Ford on the other hand had a small handful. And Mercury only had a couple big block muscle cars. Fords handicap was shock towers. Most guys avoided the Fords because it was a major project to install a big block into those shock towered cars. The cars that did not have shock towers were big heavy aircraft carrier sized boats. So the big blocks in those cars was kinda cancelled out because of the weight of the cars. That was Fords biggest error in the street car wars. Most young people had low paying jobs back then. And when you consider the fact you could buy a 6 cylinder Camaro for next to nothing. And then buy a big block rat motor for $100 dollars. You just needed an engine hoist to build a fast street machine. No cutting or welding to fit the motor in the car. That was the main reason the Camaro became the most common hot rod in America. The Nova also became popular when in 1968 the Nova was factory built without shock towers like the earlier Nova's had. Overall though the AC Cobra kicked all there azz'es off the assembly line. If was never a factory Ford release. But Shelby made it Ford Powered. And thus became a Ford Powered rat and HEMI killer on the street and road course. But only a handful were ever built. And so it never really became something most every street racer ever worried about. Because chances are you would never run into one on the street to race. I enjoy muscle cars period. There all just bad azz for there own reasons.

Best year ever for cars ! I had a Ranchero Rio Grande with a 351 that I used to do wheelies with. I also had a Roadrunner with the 383 4 barrel . Hot Cars !😀😀😀

Well done!

I was hoping a 440 Dart GTS, ZL 1 Camaro, or the Ram Air IV GTO would be in there...regardless, another awesome video!

Would really love to see a top 10 fastest of '71. Hoping to see a Cuda and Boss on that list👍👍

My first car In 1968 was a 1966 Chevelle SS 396. My brother bought a new 1969 427, 390 hp Vette. Black on black. So many muscle cars in the 60's.The one I really miss is my 1971 Vette, and my 1988 911 that was in mint cond. So much fun. After having been driving Corvetts and Porsche for 38 yrs. Now I love my 2011 Evo MR. Still having Fun. 👍👍👍 Great video.

Those are all beautiful cars , my suggestion for first place would be the 69 ZL 1 vette , I believe it was Hotrod mag who wrote the article saying that press boys were getting 10/11 second 1/4 miles outta drive . Fell in love with that car right then !

I owned a 1969 Mercury Cougar 351 engine, Yellow and black vinyl top. Loved that car. Totally it twice, repaired the first time and my folks left the heating element out of it so as to TEACH ME A LESSON. WINTERS IN NJ WERE ROUGH!

Welcome back Kevin! Sure missed my routine motorhead dosage of MCOTW. You guys were in Park way too long!

Oh, thank you thank you thank you! Wow how I've missed my MCW!!!

hard to believe that not one single drag rag tested anything from AMC. Ya'll remember the "The Machine, the Javelin, AMX or the Hurst American? Yeah....me either. I do remember my 69 Mustang Cobra Jet with the drag pac. Spanked my fair share of Hemi's and Bow Ties with that thing both on the street and the strip. Those were the days. Good to see ya back Kevin!

I would love to see the MUSCLE CARS make a comeback complete with an 8-track tape player.

I would have thought the 69 Camaro Z28 would have made the list with that high rpm aluminum 302. I always heard those were hard to beat back in the day.

There's a lot ; SS396 Chevelle /ElCamino, Road Runner/Barracuda, Mach1/ Boss302Mustang, Oldsmobile 442 & others.

Great video. I feel like I just hopped into a time machine and traveled back to 1969.

Gald to see Muscle Car of the Week back. Those the numbers these cars put down seem slow in todays standards these were incredible numbers back then. Thank you for sharing.

What a great video. Props to whoever edited it. There was a ton of information in the video.

My dream car was/is a 69 Super Bee, 4-speed, 383 Magnum. Yeah, I bought it when I was 23 and we're still tearing up the roads 53 years later.

Oh, yes! You're back! I'm very happy. ;)

The boss 429. Most claimed it was slow but it took your number two spot

No 69 Trans Am Ram Air IV??? Great video loved it.

Those are all nice cars. Was a mopar fan for yrs til I got a mustang, now im a Mustang fan having owned a Roadrunner before.

Wow very nice

Another great video...Love the "plastic fantastic!"...mine is a '69 350/350 4 speed, not as fast but still fun to drive. Hoping to see more videos soon!

1969.......What a year that was! Everyone had muscle cars. Even Rambler had the Rambler Scrambler. My dad had bought the 69 Charger R/T with a 3.90 posi-track. It was such a great car! We made several trips to the drag strips and collected several trophies. I saw just about every car mentioned here during those trips and I would say that these ratings are spot on. I'm surprised to not see the 69 Camaro, the Hemi Challenger and Cuda among the list. Great video!

Thank you for showing this. Can't wit till you get to 1966. I had a Comet GT 390 4 speed that was pretty quick.

Good to see your back sir.

Well all I can tell you is this based on personal experience at the Fremont Calif in 1968 and 1969. I had a 427 435 hp Vette. I didn't run side pipes since it was known even then that they cost around 30 hp over the under car exhaust. My car was a 4 speed with a 3.36 rear. It would go thru the lights at 13.24 at 660p in second gear at 106mph. A friend if mine had a 1969 Corvette with exactly the sane driveline except it had aluminium heads and came stock with wider tires. It would run 13.16 at 107.mph also going thru inn 2nd gear at around 6700 rpm. I once raced a 1968 Camaro with a crate L88 headers and a 4.11 rear end..that car went thru at 12.32 at 111 mph. A stock hemi was no problem since they really didn't start to run till midtrack at which point they could catch us. The Boss429s were relatively rare and we never saw one at the track although I street raced one from a 20mph roll on El Camino Real and beat him by a couple of car lengths. A stock 428 Cobra Jet was not a threat not even the 8bbl Shelby 500 KRs. In 1970 actually late 196o the 70 454 450hp Chevelle appeared. These were difficult to beat. Another car hard to beat was the 427 8v Fairlane. They were not common but a few were around.from 1967 and 196o "

great video, makes me proud to be a subscriber. just wish you could have included both the '69 Camaro ZL1 and the ZL1 Corvette.

What about a 1969 'Cuda Fastback 440??? First year of 'Cuda and a 440 in an A-body. It should be in the top 10.

I'm a Corvette owner and I love it, BUT... My dream car is the BOSS 429.

What about the 69 440-6 bbl Road Runner that Sox drove to a 12.90 et? Still an AMAZING list, MOPAR BABY

I saw a 69 L-88 track test back in the 70's it had a 4.56 and slicks and ran 11.15 at 118 mph

It's kind of a bizarre memory, but I still remember seeing many of the late 60's early 70's musclecars sitting at curbs on city streets and in parking lots back in the day being used as commuters, grocery getters and of course weekend stoplight racing. Hemi Cuda's, 454 Chevelles and El Caminos, 427 Impalas, Boss 302 & 429 Mustangs, '69 ram air 4 Trans-Ams, '73 455 Super Duty Trans AMs, and many others. Now these cars are worth so much, I wouldn't want to park one of those on a street today, it would disappear in an instant. In the later 70's, seems a lot of them where just big engine used cars that where well used, beaten up in many cases, and needed some work, being put up for sale. I bought a '71 Pontiac T/A in decent condition with 38,000 miles in 1978 for $4000.

1969 was a good time to be alive.

Curious as to why the 1969 Camaro ZL1 did not make the list. I looked it up & according to a couple of different videos (1 Blue ZL1 & 1 White ZL1) clicked off a sub par 12 second run. These are all quick cars for their day, there is no doubt in that, just a question of curiosity. Is it perhaps that only 69 were made? & only a handful of the ZL1 'vettes? They were both production cars, albeit extremely expensive ones for their time, literally doubling the cost of a comparably spec'd out BB. Btw: I own a 67 Ford Mustang FB thanks for asking.

my cousin was dating a guy with a 68 RR 383 4spd so my aunt and uncle got a RR 383 auto for her to drive to college, shortly after my cousin eloped and married the boyfriend much to my aunt and uncles displeasure. My aunt kept the RR for going to work. The only Dearborn Fordson HS teacher driving one, the librarian no less. Made a couple of trips to Canada with her to visit relatives in that car. She wasn't shy about using the accelerator peddle. I was 10 in 1968 so I was in awe. I guessing the Fordson students were too.

Some of the West Coast based magazines used regular stock cars and often with California emission controls. Many of the East Coast and Detroit based car magazines actual tested factory tuned, blueprinted, ringer cars. The differences were often much more than just the emission control packages.

I’d love to have any one of them but the boss 429 would be my favourite!!

All great muscle car.

Goodday Kevin, It is so good to see you again. It looks like you have dropped5some weight good on you. Great way to start the year, yes the might Hemi & a stable full of Mopar's, not even a L78 Chev between them either. Mopar or no Car. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

Remember that back then, in the Dodge Coronet world, 440 also referred to a series of models or a trim level. Someone in my neighbourhood has a 66 or maybe a 67 Coronet 440 that actually came stock with a 383.

Man it would’ve been so fucking cool to be alive when all these cars and older were all on the roads

Thank you for using the original times from back in the day. These days it's almost impossible to find a truly stock muscle car to get an accurate time with. Somehow completely "original" cars are all miraculously turning a second or two quicker ET than they did back when they were new. Of course on the other hand some of the factory supplied test cars back then were a little bit breathed-on too. Also seems those Mopars in the list were essentially the same basic cheap Detroit sedan but with a different grill.

Everyone of those are incredible muscle cars. I do find it a little amusing that the quickest car of that year had a 3 speed automatic transmission.

Awesome video! Can you please!!! Do a vid of the fastest 1971 muscle cars ? Thx in advance!!

Love those Chrysler Cars!

The Kevinator is back! Lookin' good, soundin' great. BTW, Cobra Jets rule the planet. Just sayin'.

Looks like you've lost a ton of beef, Kevin - well done - your quarter mile time will be better than ever!! Great to see you back :@)

Brings back wet dream memories.

Nice Really I can't believe my 1969 GTO Ram air 4sp didn't hit that list I was proud owner of one for 5 years. Lined that old Goat up with many of the mentioned never was beaten sadly accused of using NOS . Raised hood for many just 780 spred board Holly. Thank you Guys

It’s amazing that the legendary muscle cars I grew up loving are almost as fast as a new 4 cylinder mustang. How times change.

Really cool cars, all of them. Kinda wish they had Yenkos in the mix.

I had a '69 Camaro SS396/375 hp. I modified it slightly- 4.56 rear, and it would be near the top of this list. Guaranteed!

Glad to see numbers that pretty much match my experience back in these days. We do know that the factory sometimes probably did slip in some ringers to help out. No one would know unless they made absolutely sure that they got one randomly off a dealer lot. And with the 1/4 mile mph you can see that most of these could never run the 12 or even 11 second et's some want to claim. Even with slicks, traction, lower rear gears and tranny mods.
