You know, its been discussed many times, but the 61 390/375 is good example of Ford having the hot hardware but not making it available. The 66 Fairlane GT with its 390/335 was a strong car and competitive with other entry level musclecars of the day, but had trouble with cars like 396/375 Chevelles and 389/360 Tri-Power GTOs. A Fairlane with a 390/375, or even better, a 401 horse Tri-Power, would have made it a whole different ball game.

Along the same lines, a basic 67 Mustang coupe with a 427 Hi-Riser option would have probably been regarded today as one of the baddest cars of the entire era. Oh well. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
