That appeared to be "The Texas Mile" from a standing start. Given more real estate, I'm pretty sure it could do a lot more.

But it won't make it any prettier.

The old Superbirds and Daytonas weren't either. It was all for aerodynamics in NASCAR.

Not a big fan of the nose but at least it's in proportion. And a 69 Charger has a great ass on it. One off my favorites.

When my wife's Grandmother died, I came close to getting my hands on a complete and nearly mint condition 68 Charger. Her relatives got their hands on it first. It wasn't an R/T, but it was all there. Just a few minor hickeys on no rust. 383 2bbl. Could have done so much with that! Sigh!

I would gladly take the Rambler or Studebaker. Don't care what a lot of car snobs have to say.

Really!!

When I was in high school, my buddy's father (a Packard/Studebaker mechanic), fixed and painted a 1951 Commander convertible for my buddy.

Awesome car!

All I hear is stories of all the cars other people could of had.

The wife just doesn't understand why I need them all. Lol

This bike is just a couple playing cards and clothes pins from being perfect.

That's what they did when the engines had a 4 to 1 compression ratio. Did you see it nearly flip on the fireup? What are these guys doing with an old Barracuda racer?

That was really neat to watch. I want to see it run around a track.
