He did the body and paint and refabricated body parts that are not available. Nice resto on the tach face by himself too.

COPO, i WOULD love to see the SC finish nicely. my SC restoration is still pending until i sell the Roush. i know all about the unavalability on SC/rambler parts! luckly the prior owner went down to AMC and bought sheetmetal for the whole car back in 1973 (just in case he schmucked it up). all that NOS is waiting to go on my Hurst.

Yeah I know its for fun. But that line-up sure looks lop sided to me. Its more like "Dealer Built Super cars vs. Dealer tuned production cars!"

I don't get it.

wow, suprising results. its just so hard to know if any mods were done to these day 2 cars. once they get the bugs out of that SYC Nova it should improve drastically on the 1/4.

Here are the results:

Braking
-------
1. 69 Shelby Mustang 428SCJ
2. 69 RAIV GTO Royal Bobcat
3. 69 Baldwin-Motion 427 Camaro
4. 69 AMC Hurst Rambler/Scrambler
5. 69 Super Bee (Mr. Norm's)
6. 69 Yenko Nova 427

Slalom
------
1. 69 Baldwin-Motion 427 Camaro
2. 69 Shelby Mustang 428SCJ
3. 69 RAIV GTO Royal Bobcat
4. 69 Super Bee (Mr. Norm's)
5. 69 AMC Hurst Rambler/Scrambler
6. 69 Yenko Nova 427

0-60 mph
--------
1. 69 RAIV GTO Royal Bobcat - 5.40 sec
2. 69 Super Bee (Mr. Norm's) - 5.65 sec
3. 69 AMC Hurst Rambler/Scrambler - 5.85 sec
4. 69 Baldwin-Motion 427 Camaro - 6.05 sec
5. 69 Shelby Mustang 428SCJ - 6.20 sec
6. 69 Yenko Nova 427 - 6.25 sec

1/4 mile
--------

1. 69 RAIV GTO Royal Bobcat - 13.04 @ 106 mph
2. 69 Baldwin-Motion 427 Camaro - 13.41 @ 106 mph
3. 69 Super Bee (Mr. Norm's) - 13.83 @ 102 mph
4. 69 AMC Hurst Rambler/Scrambler - 13.87 @ 101 mph
5. 69 Yenko Nova 427 - 13.96 @ 101 mph
6. 69 Shelby Mustang 428SCJ - 14.08 @99 mph

The RAIV was the overall winner.

The Yenko Nova suffered wheel hop and was a fresh resto, but I don't believe it was "off" enough to explain why it came in dead last in nearly every event.

The Shelby had the largest factory wheels and tires, the AMC Rambler/Scrambler had the smallest.

The RAIV just flat out cranked, although I did notice the car lift its ass end on launch, so I believe it may have had hop-stop (or no-hop) bars installed. This may explain why the GTO seemed to hook much better than the other cars.

BTW, I'm only here to gloat.

Seriously, it was a very cool shootout, and I'm sure there will be lengthy debates as to why these cars ran quite a bit slower than what we've seen at the Pure Stocks.

Don't tell anybody, but I think it may be the driver!
