1969 AMC Hurst SC/Rambler Scrambler
1969 Shelby GT500 427 SCJ Super Cobra Jet
1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS Baldwin Motion

1. 1969 Dodge Super Bee 440 Six Pack
A "six-pack" (three two-barrel Holley carburetors) version of Dodge's 440 cu in (7.2 L) engine was added to the offering list mid-year rated at 390 bhp (395 PS; 291 kW) @ 4700 rpm and 490 lb⋅ft (664 N⋅m) @ 3600 rpm of torque. The option code for this was A12, which changed the 5th digit of the VIN to M. These special order 1969 1/2 Dodge Super Bees are known as A12 M-code cars. The A12 package also equipped the cars with a Dana 60 axle with a 4:10 gear-ratio, heavy duty automatic transmission or a 4-speed manual, and a 'lift off' flat black scooped hood.
2. 1969 AMC Hurst SC/Rambler Scrambler
Five years after Pontiac invented the muscle car formula by wedging a huge engine into its smallest car, American Motors followed suit in a big way, shoehorning the 390-cubic-inch V-8 from its AMX performance flagship into the company's entry-level car, the Rambler (née Rambler American). The result was the fabled Hurst SC/Rambler.
3. 1969 Shelby GT500 427 SCJ Super Cobra Jet
For 1969, the 428 Super Cobra Jet added Ram Air induction, special pistons, a nodular-iron crank, beefier 427 "Le Mans" connecting rods and an external balancer
4. 1969 Baldwin Motion Chevrolet Camaro SS
Using a factory SS 396 Camaro as the starting point this Camaro was the recipient of many tasty Baldwin Motion upgrade options. This process began with shoehorning a LS-7 454 with correct block casting code of 3963512 under the hood. The LS-7 454 being fitted with desirable Winters Foundry aluminum heads and Winters Foundry dual plane aluminum intake manifold.
5. 1969 Yenko Chevy Nova
In creating the Yenko Nova S/C, Don Yenko and his team in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania were testing the Nova’s limits and the insurance companies’ patience.
6. 1969 Royal Pontiac GTO Bobcat
In the late 1950's Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak, Michigan began offering modifications for new cars enhancing performance. As attention on the small dealer grew with their racing efforts, upgrades and package offerings expanded. Royal Bobcat GTO's would command respect, and with the new tunnel port heads offered directly through Pontiac Motor Division, the word was on the streets.

Love the banter between Peter & Tom back in the day!
Best show I’ve watched in a long time R.I.P.Tom 👍🏻🇺🇸
Man, I miss Tom Hnatiw. 😢
Loved watching all those episodes, Tom was quite the character !
This show was legendary!! Best car show we had … bring it back !!
Fantastic incorporating Tom & you Peter from Dream car garage 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Great memories! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome look back interview with Gary and Dad! Gary asks some great questions 👍Good to see a '69 RA IV Goat in action. Loved the AMC's exhaust note.
I can’t EVER watch Peter and not totally enjoy the content ,just the most sincere and knowledgeable fun host,makes you smile the whole time.
Great memories! Thanks guys!
Loved watching Tom!
Back in the days of my 1969 Olds 442, if someone told me I would now be driving a stock C8 Corvette that runs 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds, does 1/4 mile nearly 11 seconds flat, has a top speed over 190 mph, and gets 30 mpg on the interstate, I would say they are full of BS. These sure are the days. Thanks for the video. Sure miss your show and the Speed Channel.
Remember all the shootouts! Thanks for the backstory!
awesome you two,three now ! All of us use footprint tractor pulls,latemodels, street racers, dragbikes , oh yeah ! life has been wonderful !!!! PBS showed us poorfolk in ohio wayback this cool show!
Thanks guys for the walk down memory lane. This deal is very entertaining.
Royal Bobcat GTO was running strong, by '69 they had their formula down on what exactly to do with that platform. The master mechanic who worked on those at Royal Pontiac also supposedly did the 390 AMC Hurst scramblers head work on those cars too. Seems like I saw an interview with him and he talked about it.
Peter always seems so happy when talking about cars! Liv’in the dream buddy! Keep up the great content!
Nostalgia as a word also includes a certain pain (nostos and algos). I truly felt that watching this. I always looked forward to this program - a great combination of fun, funny, skill, and learning each week. Thanks for the memories, and all the work you continue to put out here. ~ Chuck
This why I bought a Corvette with gmykhana suspension. It is like driving a go cart!
I remember these shows...
Had a '67 Fairlane XL 289 4V 4 Speed console front discs in high school
Love the 69 GTO
I loved this episode and the other factory muscle car shootout episode. What is very evident is, the owner of the cars from that era needed some mechanical tuning ability to get them to perform up to their potential - which is what makes them so appealing. Much different than muscle cars of today, which are like plug in appliances....
Some of the best TV ever filmed. 😊
Would love to see a video on the Buick GS Stage 2 455
Tom,the voice of reason.
I love seeing Tom!
The GTO was the only car in the group that had control arm rear suspension, effectively a form of four link. All the others had leaf springs.
Being a Pontiac fan and owning 3 of them, yes I am biased here, despite all the cars are truly awesome its nice to see the Poncho show its true colors. For all you Pontiac doubters, the numbers dont lie!
Yep,great as always Guys but sure miss you're friend Tom. Poncho power wins!
I think the Pontiac hooked up best because of the factory four link in the rear the others were all leaf.
The Rambler S/C belongs to my buddy Jeff. This was filmed before I met him, but he told me about how he loaned the Rambler to Peter for this episode/testing.
A Phase III Motion car came with an 11.50 guarantee. A 13.41 on street tires is off. The GTO was spot on. The Super Bee was off as well. The Shelby was about right, the Yenko clearly needed sorted out. The Scrambler was off a touch. Those cars were super light and launched nasty with dome stuckier tires. The lack of killer torque out of the hole meant you needed to slightly spin while moving off the line because once moving, they just needed to breath on top.
That GTO has ran 12.20s after this show aired.
Would love to see a re-boot of the show, I know it would be different without Tom but would like to see it.
The mustang and the gt40 has more positive accomplishments than any of the other America made cars and they are worth more money
How many of you keep saying, yeah, but what if, what about.
poor little smallblock amc againt them big blocks
We called those Fake Ass Brakestand burnouts.
I miss Tom too.
👍
Love your videos guys but podcasting vids probably not your strong points😂. Stick to your strengths guys. CARS!!
Ford again was not represented well at all. To even the playing field how about a Holman Moody prepped 427 fairlane, Mustang or how about the famous thunderbolt? Or to throw a 427 soch powered ford drag team sponsered car. Even Chrysler had a badder car than this 440 they chose. How about a hemi dart? Although it's great to see these awsome cars in action to many better prefomance cars such as the 421 super duty tempest are not in the battle.
Chevy wheel hop just like ford
4 speed cars are faster than auto
A 4 speed will MPH faster than an automatic but an auto will et better.
