    I was driving the 1969 Mustang 428SCJ. It was a stock 428 SCJ with 4:30 gears. My best time in the actual race was 13.76. I ran a 13.44 with the mufflers unhooked in practice. My times were inconsistent due to a worn out shifter that I couldn't find a replacement for before the race. It was a fun weekend but very hot. I think the temps hurt everyone's times up a little.

      @@nedaCFilms I just turned 65 and spent plenty of time at NY National Speedway in the late 60's so i know what most cars REALLY ran not all old war stories, sure a 396 Chevelle was faster than a 350 Malibu but still somewhere in the 14's was the norm unless it was a 396/375 with 410/456 gears. I worked with a guy who had a dead stock 70 SS 396 Chevelle with 331 gears and a 4 speed, he barely got into the 14's at about 95 mph at Epping NH drag strip after i moved to MA. I worked at a Shell gas station then age 20 and found a 67 RS Camaro body that had a 12 bolt with 456 gears, no engine or trans. so a buddy of mine who worked at a basic machine shop told me he got a stock bore 427/425 engine with a spun rod bearing and the owner already found a stock engine replacement so all i had to do was pay the disassembly bill and give him 100.00 for heads, factory solid cam, big oil pan etc. Had the crank ground and put it together, with 25 inch slicks and a JUNK Holley 780 ran mid 12's at 108-110 with NO tuning, just drove it up there, opened the headers and made a few runs, the guy who i borrowed the slicks from told me if i put a Tarantula single plane and a 800/850 DP should run low 12's but i worked at that gas station and making about 2 bucks an hr. Compared to those 14 sec. 95 mph cars it would walk on them but 456 gears arent really street/highway gears so always looking for back roads to go somewhere. I had a Lakewood scattershield, lakewood comp. trac. bars with the big J hooks, had the hideaways and L-88 hood with a big radiator and looked tough from the front with the hideaways, scattershield , big stock Chevy oil pan and the L-88 hood, that factory 520 solid cam was good, decent idle, linear and revved over 6.
      That was the beginning of the 1st gas shortage so not a time to build an L-88 street engine with 12.5 pistons and more radical cam, i had a friend and told me the 2nd phase L-88 cam was better than the initial design but that was a rough idling cam.
      PERFORMANCE ENGINE BUILDING has a some great video series on building a 600+ hp 454 using cast heads, he knows LOTS of tricks and gets SERIOUS power from his ported cast heads.

      They also cost 10-15X as much and you can’t work on them without voiding your warranty. The cars today all come with factory shorty headers, a real good intake manifold a free flowing exhaust and a lot bigger camshafts. These would all be the basic mods that someone should do to there cars to wake them up and all these mods combined would cost them less than a grand. The best part is that if you had basic mechanical skills you could do all the work yourself because when you opened the hood you could SEE the engine but not with todays cars. The new car handle way better, stop shorter and start with no problem where the old muscle cars it could be iffy with the points in the distributor and the crappy plug wires that would love to crossfire. The new performance cars have it all over the stock 60’s and 70’s muscle cars but the older cars really responded to simple engine mods that you could just about double the power of a small block with these mods which I did with my 1970 340 4 speed Duster. Ask anyone who had a muscle car or two back in the day if they would want the new cars or their old muscle car and most would agree that they would rather have their old car back. Plus it will still draw more attention than the new cars.

    I owned a stock ‘69 Mach 1 428 CJ 4 speed 3.50 gears. It ran varying low 14 second tire spinning et’s at a steady 101 mph. Modern technology has rendered that a slug. I’ve told young guys that back then if you had a true 13 second street car that you would be pretty dominant in the cruise night drags. With no timing clocks you could brag about imaginary 12 second e.t.’s. In the intervening years much has been learned about tuning, suspension set up, and torque converter technology for the automatic trans cars. I’m a big fan of the F.A.S.T. drag racing where they cloak big inch strokers into factory appearing stock tire cars. The best of these now run in the 9’s

They were a couple of ol boys in your home town that had some street cars that would go low 12s or maybe even high 11s. But this is what we had back in the day,the cars you are watching are basically the way you went and bought them. Back then who would have thought roughly 50 years later they would be making cars 4500 pounds running 10s and being able to get out on the highway and get around 20 miles to the gallon. #still having fun at 65. lol.

Six Pack cars with the Super Track Pack option were mid to low 13 second cars as delivered, IF you knew how to drive them. 440 4 barrel cars were within 1-2 tenths of that. Sadly a lot of them, even the Hemi cars, were ordered with standard gearing, 3.23's, and open carrier differentials. (All Hemi's came with a limited slip differential even if they had the standard 3.23 gearing)

I try to focus about that aspect of the nostalgia - to overcome the depression from your (sadly accurate) observation. HaHa. And... it's really hard to have any swagger while driving a minivan. Similar arguements can be made regarding paddle shifting vs. a floor shift configuration. They say: "...but electronic paddle shifting makes for better/quicker acceleration...blah, blah, blah..."

All a drag car builder does now is put a turbo on an engine and get someone smarter than them to program a computer. Back when these were new you had to actually build something.

  • @darrelmorgan6266
    @darrelmorgan6266 2 роки тому

    Don't want to be a 'nazi' about it but the GTX had traction bars on it. A real no-go on b-body Mopars. Pinion snubber is what he should have had on that car. I bet that thing felt really bound up when he hit the gas. The other thing was 15.24?? Something wasn't right with that car. My 68 440 GTX ran over a second quicker than that bone stock but tuned up well, ie ignition curve and avs carb tweaked a little bit. They are heavy cars. 13.86 for that CJ seems about right because those were some real stormers. I could run away from a 390 GT Mustang in my GTX no problem but not a 428 Cobra Jet though I could outrun a CJ on the highway at high speed. I'm a Mopar guy but even back in the day if there was one Ford I would have jumped at the chance to own it would have been a 68 Mustang 428 CJ.

    That GTX driver might have done better had he tried to do his best in the by run. He was still going to get beat if they're even close to stock because it's a bigger heavier car. After watching him squeal the tires on his launch it's also apparent to me that he doesn't really know how to get the best launch. I have to wonder about some of the cars that didn't win and how their gearing compared to the opponents. All told all those classic supercars aren't near as quick or fast as I remember them being.
