Nice post Steve. Mentions availability of a 427 in the Mustang in '68 but that never happened. I am surprised that the ROYAL license plate frame on that Firebird didn't result in a bit more...ooomph. Wouldn't figure Milt & Wangers would let that one out of the shop unless it was running low 14s

A big plus—at least for us—was getting a production-assembly car for our early-in-the-season test schedule. Our normal source couldn't supply a car, and when George Neutill of Royal Pontiac in North Hollywood, California (no association with Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak, Michigan) heard of our dilemma, he invited us over to pick from five he had on his lot.

There's a magazine that did a special issue on the 1968 pony cars. I think it was Car Life. Collection currently in boxes but I have it. It's quite a great issue.
