Great 1/4 mile action car show, wish there were more events like this. Some really cool cars to just see, let alone get to see run a full 1/4 mile. Thanks for filming the pits / line too, and posting.
I have always love the Quarter-Mile Cars of the 60’s and especially the 60’s.My Grand Pa Jim had a 1964 Dodge 440 Cornett 426 Hemi. The quarter mile stats were 11.6 seconds 126 miles an hour. Grandpa Jim only lost one race and that was another 1964 Dodge 440 Cornett 426 Hemi except this car had some work done because Grandpa Jim could see him pulling away with his front wheels off the ground at first.Well there might be two or three cars that would be quicker than Grandpa Jims car but Grandpa Jims quarter mile car would be worth a lot more than any stock car today !
These cars are really neat if you remember you could buy them off the showroom floor. You might not order them with 4.10's but then again you might (back then gasoline did not contain gold). Nice job.
@@justme307 A friends totally stock and never touched formula went 14.20 @ 100 mph leaving in drive weighing 4100 lbs with a 3.08 gear. It could probably go 13.90s with a open shaker and manually shifting the car. ruclips.net/video/CBZ7uIeEf7k/видео.htmlsi=GNYwHKkEnDIWzw2a
@@justme307yes they are several of these cars are far from stock, if you go back and check road and track or car and driver magazine from 1970 a 454 Chevelle 454 would be faster than a 340 Plymouth Duster although they were no slouch. And a 69 Camaro 396 would not beat a 1970 Dodge Challenger 426 Hemi, the Hemi would beat the 396 easily. These cars should be a little faster because o modern day tires but not 10 or 12 mph faster and 2 seconds quicker.
A 73-74 Super Duty Pontiac 455 engine doesn't have heads, block, crank, rods or pistons that are interchangeable with any other Pontiac engine. In those 2 year models only about 3000 were made. The block also has plugged ports for adding dry sump oiling. Pontiac payed a separate from GM racing engine company to design and build the Super Duty 455 engine. The 310 horsepower rating wasn't realistic as they squeaked it by limiting the carburetor throttle opening as well as retarding the timing. They were one of a kind engines and were very powerful as the 7:11 heads and cam had been meticulously dyno engineered to squeak past emissions tests and still deliver a LOT of horsepower. No parts available for them anymore making them irreplaceable. Somewhat surprised the owner was running such a car. A few factory installed production Ford engines are as somewhat irreplaceable but more for the carburetors, intake and exhaust manifolds. The 426 Max Wedge engine is similar in that respect as well all though several years of those were produced. It would also have the highest compression ratio of any car there as MANY Max Wedge cars were sold with 12.5 to 1 compression.
Cool, but most of these cars are not "Pure Stock". They look the part, but you'd have to ADD a good 2 seconds to many of them, to have a better indication of how they ran back in the day.
Fantastic, a reality show, great to see what they really ran...ish LOL. I have had a 12.80s '68 Roadrunner here in the UK 40 years, life thing for me, cheers
Seriously Cars don’t get any better when you looking up from the 40s through the 70s 60s and 70s is the Muscle era. Great Cars call enthusiast love it.
1:15 is an extreamly rare 65 Barracuda S. There is one for sale at GR Auto Gallery in MI. A survivor. Its gold with orig black stripe, V8, 4 brl. 4 speed, factory tach and it has under 2000 miles on it. Check it out.
Really nice to see this show. It amazes me how good the drivers are. I can see how hard it would be to go from stret to a tacky race track. How many rpms to start, etc. etc. neet to watch..
Best video ive seen in months. Thank you for showing the racing and the times. Great stuff. Just an fyi the gold trans am, maybe a 79? It ran 14.3's. About 2 seconds faster than any other that year. Lol - again great stuff. Thanks.
I'm a Mopar American moters guy. But really good to see how Pontiac produces so much power will such low compression. In 78 they were 8:1. But I don't know what the rules are.
If I won the Lotto I'd build a 413 Max Wedge with that massive iron crossplane intakes, 331 or 392 Hemi barracuda, slant 6 Duster, and a 69 Roadrunner with a 440 and 8-71 running on methanol and 100's more cars
So glad I am the age I am. Went to dealerships all the time back then to look at these cars when they were new. Lived nine miles from Yenko Chevrolet. Own a few and rode in many more that my friends owned. Best thing about building an AMC muscle car as I did, was what we called at the time The Glow Factor. When you smacked A Chevrolet, you just knew they were pissed, and it made you feel warm inside.
I relate to that. We are a ford family. Yes I own chevys. Yes I race chevys (,-my dirt oval car) ,but when I blow the chevy engine up, no heartbreak. My wallet hurts but not my heart.
This announcer should hold off of the medical marijuana until the race’s are over, by the time he finishes talking about the cars at the start the race is almost over.
Do they ever do a tear down on the motors of some of the faster cars? I had the pleasure of living during the Muscle car age, I NEVER saw a 350 Nova go 11'S stock. Regardless of who put the motor in, Yenko of Nickey, they just were not that fast stock.
The Simpson guys are serious racers. However, I think this same car was running about 13 seconds a few years back. It has a 4.56 rear, and probably has the shift points up at about 6500 rpm. Probably not a highway cruiser.
Gracias por tu comentario. Creo que es fantástico ver comentaristas de fuera de EE. UU. Creo que Ferrari fue una influencia en el diseño de los Camaros de segunda generación y de las carrocerías A de General Motors del 68 al 72.
Yep...wish I would have kept some of my old vehicles like my 67 Ford F100 stepside 6' Bed with a 352 and 4:11 rr, or my 69' 383 Road Runner. But my current car in a 17' Super Sport Camaro with a 6 speed manual so it takes away the pain.😁
Nice cars, fun to watch, but there were no 11 second cars in that era, hardly any 12 second cars, cars in the 13s were fast for that day, so there are a lot of not "purely stock" cars out there running!
A Super Duty Pontiac would absolutely do that. There were only 1500 made in 73 then about 1500 again in 74. Those engines had heads block, crank rods and pistons that were not interchangeable with any other Pontiac engine and the engines were not assembled at a GM factory. They also all came with plugs that could be removed for changing the pan and running a dry sump oil system. Look it up.
Are all these cars actually fully certified to be stock? Some of them running 12.90s and 13 teens on bias ply tires seems really fast. Not that some of them couldn't as they had the HP to do so but those old bias plies would spin like crazy.
There are cars this day required to run Coker supplied redline bias ply tires that run mid to low nines in the quarter mile. The tires have most of the tread removed and have had the sidewalls broken down so they wrinkle some. I doubt any of these cars were running tires that have been through that treatment but it proves that low times can be run on stock size bias ply tires similar to the tires back in the day. I didn't believe it until I saw it !!!

Not so much back then from factory, most of these cars are far from factory specifications. A 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 should not beat a 1970 Chevelle SS 454. A 1969 Camaro 396 should not beat a 1970 Challenger 426 Hemi. Even though it was a close race here. From factory it wouldn’t be close the Hemi would leave it bad

Never got the hype with the cuttys they were just tq monsters I never seen thier taillights and I raced a few back in the day yeah nice Cars but were dogs compared to to others especially the king of muscle the hemi....
Rules allow a bump in compression ratio of 1.5. This really wakes up the low compression 73-74 SD motors and shows what beasts they would have been pre-1971.
I find this way more entertaining to watch than purpose-built drag cars on the street.
me too. In the 70s and 80s I would go to the track to watch these street cars run and could relate to them more than Funny cars.
I cant imagine a person preferring watching anything on a phone as opposed to live action.
If I'm correct, the quickest car was the 1963 Plymouth with a 426 Max Wedge and cross ram intake running an11:85 e.t.

Those old cars ran damn good for no electronics, computers and just all carburetion and the weight they were pulling.
