Favorite Car of the 1960s (1 Viewer)

[amused]

A buddy of mine had a '69 Camaro with a worked 396. Unfortunately it started out life with the 250 straight-6 and Danny left the radiator from that iteration when he added the big-block. He'd do 2 passes up and down Coastal Highway in Ocean City and have to stop and add water

My favorite was always the goobers that planted a big-block in a 6cyl car , left the 4 wheel drum brakes and stock suspension , and then acted surprised from the ditch ...

It all depends on the gear ratio. Indy cars for example are geared tall and need to be pushed out of the pits, They are not built for
the 1/4 mile. They are built for top end speed

those words strung together don't actually mean anything do they?

It sounds as though you've met Danny. He's the same talented but lazy high-school baseball player who was benched for sloppy play. He get's beered-up that night and decides to go do a donut in the coach's front yard. Should have checked his gas gauge, he ran out of gas...in the front yard

They are important and highly-technical words designed to keep certain uninformed folks out of the loop

So math and dancing is a no-go ?

The 427/435 variant, of course.

The Stingray with side pipes is a wonderful thing to behold.

the mako and mantas are really awesome

Then there's the "Bullitt" Mustang made famous by Steve McQueen.

My rebel cousin had a 67 Fastback 289. She'd come and pick up me and my buddy, and take us to do things our parents wouldn't allow. We'd go to movies like Bullitt and Bonny and Clyde when we were 12-13 years old. Tommy had the worst crush on her. "Hey, do you think Barbra will come over this weekend?"

Barbra was 8 years older than me. A tall, statuesque redhead with a beautiful figure, she was the epitome of the term Flower Child. She used to wash the car clad in a white bikini, and my aunt lost track of the amount of accidents she caused on their busy road
