Imagine the E.T.s of all these cars with modern rubber. I lived through this era and the biggest problem was keeping the tires engaged to the road, particularly with the short rear ends of the day.
Modern suspension would probably help too
@@christophertaylor9100 Wouldn’t hurt.
I had a red 1970 GS455. Loved that car,
Had a blast with my 1972 Buick skylark. Had a 350. Was not enough for me so I put in a 455 from a 1971 Buick Rivera. Surprised a lot of other cars.
Sounds like you also had a blast with your 72 as well. What a car.
I had a 74 Maverick with a V-8. Called it the Pocket Rocket!
Great list of Cars! I had a 72 Buick Skylark after we finished up in the 80s that monster was 462 Stage 1 pushing 550H and a even 565 torque. The pull was incredible with 4:10:1 ⚙️ the combination with about 90%was Kenne Bell equip. Cam was specifically made in Detroit from General Kenattiacs at about 525 lift. Sealed power pistons flat top Pistons for perfect clearance with 11:0:1. TRW had the nice dome for 12:50:1. At that time Kenne Bell you could get anything you wanted from 10:0:1- 15:0:1. So many tricks to the big block BUICKS. Buick advantage was because of their light Engine Blocks, but must griddle bottom end anything above 500 HP so the main bearing don't start walking. To much to list but thanks for listening. Boy I wish I new were that car is today. Last I knew was in Heartland Michigan. WOW! Good times in that car.
GTO, Mark1 and trans am tops on my list of most beautiful cars.
I guess you meant "MACH" 1. I have to agree with you. Especially the Pontiacs, Pontiac was on another level in styling and performance.
@@user-rv3cm7hv3lI agree with you about Pontiac! The GTO is my all time favorite car but the other muscle era Pontiacs are also beautifully stylish and sporty cars. (and even pre-muscle era - my dad restored a 1959 Bonneville convertible to all original and it's a beautiful car!)
BIG BLOCK CHEVELLE SS
I had a 1971 Demon 340, at $2,800.00 it was an amazing car⚡️
one of my mopars was a '71 demon with the ordinary 318. definitely not a muscle car, but i loved the styling & handling - super-cool little car !
My dad hadda 71 Mach 1 but his had the 351 Cleveland. What a bitchin car man!! I hope to own 1 myself someday 🤞
My first car was a 71 Sport Fury with 440ci with 4bbl.
Wasn't the fastest car in school parking lot,but I wasn't the slowest either.
Mustang did pretty well in this match up.
I had a 1973 Formula 455 with the functional RA setup and even with 250 rear wheel brake HP and low 8 compression ratio the 455 was still a beast when racing light to light on Friday and Saturday nights back in the early 1990s. Back then I could have also bought a 1972 Cuda with a 383 for the same money but the Formula 455 had way more HP.....
Cars were much easier to work on back then as cars had no computer and every car had a simple foolproof carburettors.
fastest car i owned was a '72 charger with a 440 - net hp was something like 280, but it still felt plenty fast, probably turning quarters in the low 15's. I miss those days badly........
12:33 minutes of pure heaven, brilliant video
Excellent content… well done !
Good choice of cars. Love them all. Great video. thanks.
I love musckle!😯💖💚💙💜🤎❤💯🤍👍!
Great vid!!!!!!👍👍
Very beautiful amazing looking cars thanks friend good morning
My very first car was a 340 cuda
I had a 71 GS Stage 1, I loved that car, it was bad to the bone and I raced it at the 1/4 mile a lot. I kept busting motor mounts because of the torque so I added a chain to limit the engine travel. That's when the transmissions started coming apart. I dolled her up with headers and side pipes with the cutouts and torque thrust D's with Micky Thompson tires.
A 71 Hemi Cuda Hardtop goes for around $450K as stated in the video. That same car with a HEMI but convertible goes for 3-5 million and probably even a bit more with 4 speed because they're much more rare.
‘71 Hemicuda is my dream car
Member 6 pepo crammed in one & driver said we were toppin out at 140
Cool 🥰
Plymouth Cuda und Dodge Challenger R/T ❤ ,wenn ich im Lotto Gewinne, dann weiß ich was ich mir selbst schenke 😂
Interesting
What? I had a triple black 1971 LS-6 Chevelle with aluminum open chamber heads that yielded 9.5:1 comp.M22! And a friend had a 1971 LS-6 Monty Carlo w/ same engine and TH400 Dk green!
1970 was the last year for the LS-6
1971-1972...Ls5.
LS6 had 11:1 compression. The 390 hp 454 had 9:1 compression.
Nice list, mostly beautiful cars (Charger change was a disaster) But the Mach 1 does it for me.
I ordered a 71 340 Duster 391 rear 4 speed put some Headers on it had a friend do some trick work on the Distribator n carb Headers open at Drag strip first pass 12 80 did a 12 68 pass wish I still had that car
The Mustang and Charger sure got ugly in 71. Even the Road Runner got odd looking. The 69 Stang and 68 Charger are 2 of the best looking cars of the era.
MoPar, you are with us,... or you are behind us...!!
I’m guessing the car companies were still lying about horsepower numbers
Definitely! Lol
They did that because of the onsursnce companies killing the kids with high rates, adding surcharges too. Many models wete available with similar equipment but are tuned down like the Olds Cutlass SX instead of the 442. Chevy had the low-cost Heavy Chevy.
All the time I was in Vietnam in 1970 I had a picture of a Plymouth Hemi under glass on my locker. But when I got back they were way to expensive and didn't come with a warrantee, so I settled for a Plymouth Duster. I think it was a good choice at the time, except it was the color of baby poop.
But of course it is MOPAR for the win 👍
overall, the fastest stuff ever built - but there was plenty of scary muscle back then that could give my charger a run for the money
The Buicks were quickest on street tires then due to the flat easily controlled torque curve of the nail head. And with enough traction nothing could touch a hemi.
Wow!!
My skylark was one of the fastest cars in town she loved to eat lighter cars.
I hear that same my 72 was the king of the town. Man our race team was just unmatched at the time. We just knew what to do to make them cars go Fast with Class. So many advantages to the Big Block BUICKS.
everyone of these cars are pulling in 100k the more original the higher the price, obviously you can find the cheaper too but probably need full restoration putting you at 100k
I'll take the Chevelle, thank you.
On the road all of these cars could out run each other on any given day and two weeks later couldn't get out of its own way, I've owned different years of these models, O' the fun times of my youth!😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤪👏🏻👍
THANKS MY SON MAX 8 AND I SAY AWSOME.....
Whatever happened to MOPAR??? Executive/Management dereliction of duty, that's what.
MOPAR OR NOCAR!
correct - that was our motto here ""out west" in the 80's
Slowest ones are all Chevy’s 😃😄😁😆😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
