During the first two years I was paying the car payments with winnings from bracket racing. 15.90 @ 89 mph with slicks. Only change was 1974 style true dual exhaust and Transgo shift kit. Car would do awesome Rockford style u-turns, both forward and backwards. That was murder on the belted radials though. Never got even one ticket while driving the car, even with all the badski stuff I did. Ran it up to 90 mph on a limited access county road before I had put ten miles on it. I'd buy another duplicate in a heartbeat.

Very cool story. Always thought the 400 was an underrated engine.

And the madness of 2021 prices rolls right on into 2022.


I have to start rethinking the values of my cars. I think I have my '67 ss/rs insured for around 18k...

WOW!....did not see that coming. I cannot see any upside to spending that much on that car, Buyer must have had an extra Martini before bidding.
