You're right, my "expert" Corvair consultant failed me. Thanks for the correction! Read more

It was tough between '59 and '60. While I prefer the '59 GMs Dodges and Desotos to the '60s, the Ford Plymouth and Imperial redesign combined with the fact GMs are just a little cleaned up from the previous year pushed me 1960. Its hard to choose one year, especially the more you think about it. Read more

You make an excellent case. 1970 was my number two choice but seeing these all of these cars in list form is making me reconsider. Read more

Good find, its neat to read the story behind these. I can't imagine the days of a 100 dollar '59 Cadillac Read more

Very cool, I've never heard about/seen that before, I'll have to read up on it. Thanks for posting! Read more

Thanks! I would have loved to see a row of Mercedes and Studebakers sitting side by side at a dealership. Its hard to imagine now. Read more

Thanks, great video! It isn't too surprising the Lark never caught on with the Police. I guess at that point you can't blame them for trying. Read more

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it and I'm glad you are enjoying the weekends. Read more

@powermatic: Although I just finished rewording this for clarity I cannot lie, I love this thing. Read more

@benn454: Glad you enjoyed it! I'm not sure exactly what they were running the 11 second runs on but it was in 69 when people were hitting those numbers. It was probably on a set of the better race tires available at the time which leaves me wondering with everyone else exactly what one could do with some tires. Read more

@$kaycog: I think Lindemann's head might have exploded with joy if Car and Track had reviewed that. Read more

@Slave2anMG: @RalphieDC: Sounds like I would be fine if you two don't have an issue. From an outside perspective it doesn't look like anyone over 5' 10" or 180 LBS would be able to get in to one. There goes one of my excuses. Read more

Once it gets nice again, I am absolutely planning to take to take a car spotting trip to the Vineyard. I'm hoping to get my old dirt bike (road legal) running to take over on the ferry and spend a day cruising the Island. I can imagine the exotic car spotting is great in the summer. Read more

Glad you enjoyed the write up. The lack of top image was actually my mistake although I initially blamed the system. I'm not involved with the inner voodoo of what works and what doesn't (thankfully) but I know Ray has mentioned there are people working on it through the weekend. I think all we can do currently is Read more

Looks like you are at 200 ft-lbs for the Chevy. Read more

Good point, but I was actually just referring my own 4 vehicles (listed above). All four of them have a higher ft-lbs rating than horsepower. Sorry for the confusion. Read more

@StoneCrab: I couldn't believe it when that sold, there was at least one excellent deal to be had at Barrett-Jackson. Read more
