It was a win at all costs built car, and the gears in the axle cost $35,000 all by themselves.... in 1969. The Boss 429 was built by Smokey Yunick.

It was used the one time, then it was retired as Ford decided they were done with racing, and they paid for everything to get the best, and win without doubt.

So they hired the fastest guy to get up Pike's Peak, Bobby Unser, who had already won 10 times previous to 1969 (with open wheel cars 1956, and 1958-62 with the Unser Special, 1963 and 66 with a Chevy, (1964 with Sports Car), and 1968 with the Rislone Special) (He also won in 1986 with an "Unlimited" car)

Bobby Unser drove it the one time, and that run set a record (Super Stock Car 13 minutes 40 seconds) that stood for 5 more years until he broke it with a Dodge Dart.

For the 1971 model year, only Ford was still selling high compression engines: the 429 Cobra Jet (11.3:1) and the 351 Boss Mustang (11.7:1)

In 1970 if you ordered a 442 Post Sedan you got a different dash (cheaper) that did not have the L & R "astro vents." You also got vent windows instead of a one piece door glass.

A 1970 A66 340 Challenger Convertible. Just needs the correct Goodyear Polyglas GT E60x15 RWL tires. It's an auto trans. Only 178 were made in 1970

The purpose of "racing stripes" was not to make a car look "cool." They were placed on a race car to make it stand out so the pit crews would know immediately where their car was on the track.

The "302" Engine Call Out Front Fender Emblems were used on the 1968 Z/28 until March 1968 when they were replaced with the iconic "Z/28" Emblems.

Does anyone know if these emblems are the same as those used on the 1969 Z/28 with ZL2 Hood?

In 1967, if positraction was ordered in a little-used axle ratio, 12-bolt positraction axles were installed in vehicles that otherwise would have received a 10-bolt axle. This was done simply to reduce axle inventory at the factory. This practice only applies to 1967 Camaro, but included all models, even 6-cylinders.

1967 was the only year you could order Manual Front Disc Brakes on your Camaro. Beginning in 1968 the Power Booster was a mandatory option. This caused the price to go from $79 in 1967 to $142 in 1968. Rally Wheels were included.

If you ordered a Powerglide auto trans in your 1969 SS 350 Camaro you got a 10 bolt rear. The 12 bolt rear was standard with the 3 and 4 speed manual and the TH350 and TH400 auto.

The Chevelle was assembled in a whopping 10 different GM plants. For the record, that was: Arlington, Tx; Atlanta, Ga.; Baltimore, Md.; Flint, Mich.; Framingham, Mass.; Fremont, Calif.; Kansas City, Kan.; Oshawa, On., Canada; and Sainte-Thérèse, PQ, Canada.

The 1966 L79 Nova SS was not the lightest muscle car made. It's curb weight was 3010.

The 1965 GT350 was lighter by 60 pounds (2950)

All 1970 Cougar Eliminators (and Cyclones - all models) which originally were sold in California only had 20 gallon fuel tanks. The other 49 states got 22 gallon.
