The Hood Scoop's design on the 1970 Challenger T/A came from the P51 Mustang

In 1968 Dana Chevrolet built two L71 427 SS/RS Camaros. Kevin S. owns one and this is a reproduction of the other one.

This should look familiar to anyone who has done a road trip from the north to the south. Xmas break from college (Dec. 1969 to Jan 1970), my buddy Al and I drove from Boston, MA to Miami, FL in his 1969 Chevelle SS 396. 10 day trip. Made the stop at South Of The Border to eat lunch on the way down.




Same deal for me when I drove from NJ to college in Daytona '69-'71, either in a '62 convertible, '69 Roadrunner or a '70 MG Midget.

The last Muscle Car to use Redline tires was the 1970 Buick Grand Sport. They were standard equipment.

One of four stripe options for the 1969 442. The others are:

Lee -- my 69 did not have the chrome on the top edge of the fenders ... must have been an option I didn't choose. You're teasing me with all the black muscle cars ... LOL ... Craig

When restoring a 1970 Superbird, if you have to replace the headlite cover applicates you are supposed to paint a 1" flat black border around the headlite cover because the reproduction ones are smaller than what the factory used.

They are called "fender peak" moldings and supposedly were standard on the 1969 442. I see no RPO for them:

Was it possible to get just COPO 9737 on a 1969 Camaro SS?

For the 1972 Buick GS, if you ordered G60x15 RWL tires, the chrome road wheels were included

1967 427 Galaxie 500

http://s30.postimg.cc/93p7ff40h/image.jpg


It's a very rare 1967 GTA 289 HiPo Mustang Fastback with the Competition Handling Package which included the 15" Galaxie wheel covers as Ford did not have a 15" "road wheel" back in 1967.

This was a very expensive car back in 1967. Base price was $2,592.17. Then you add $205.05 for the GT option, $433.55 for the 289 HiPo engine, $220.17 for the auto trans, $388.53 for the Competition Handling Package, Power front disc brakes: $64.77, Power steering: $84.47 and $57.51 for an AM radio. That totals $4,046.22

PINK!! Probably shot with a polarizing filter. They tend to make colors very vivid.

If you look at the W32 under "mandatory options" they list "Fiberglas belted tires P-81." I can't find a description for RPO P81:

Not here either:

Anyone know what it is? Maybe fiberglass belted red-line tires? Seems to be unique to the 1969 W32 442.

Only the first 100 1966 Shelby GT 350H Hertz Rent-A-Racers had a 4 speed transmission. After having to replace the clutch in many of them, shortly after delivery, Ford and Hertz decided to go with the Auto trans instead.

This was the first public (in the media) use of the term; "Muscle Car." Previous to this Hot Rod issue they were called Super Cars or Hi Performance Cars.
