Mustang MPH?

[Alan Roehrich]

On the 1967 Corvette L-88, Chevrolet and GM claim to have produced and sold 36 to the general public, and there are claims, Chevrolet and GM will neither confirm nor deny, that there were some 25-30 given to or sold at reduced prices to road racers receiving back door support through Vince Piggins and Zora Arkus-Duntov. The legitimacy of those claims (NHRA accepts the 36 from Chevrolet and GM) depends on who you talk to. The L-88 option included a radio and heater delete, so the car wasn't intended to be street driven.

The new Mustang subject has been beaten to death, and we're no better or worse off. At this point, there is little anyone can do except race.

Just wanted to clear up. GM produce 16-36 (depends who you talk to) 1967 L-88
1968 they produced over 100 (I think it was 108)
1969 112

Ive been a Corvette guy since before I could legaly drive and Im active in Corvette clubs. The acepted number is 20 bought by the general public. The 3 with original engines have the correct code block and matching vin #. Of course there are counterfits as there are about 500 more 435 HP cars running around than Chev. ever made. The others are give aways for SCCA racing and clones. Yes they were all radio and heater delete. No shielding on the distribator either from the factory. I will try to get the vin #'s when Im at Carlise in August. Look it up in the Corvette "Black Book". My '67 was one of 20 also with an M-22 trans produced but it had a 427/435 HP engine with iron heads (not ALUM). It was a true 10 second street (10.97 at 126 MPH) car in 1967 on 8 inch slicks. 4 1/2 MPG with 4.88 gears. Drove it every day when I had it. Wish I had it back.

80 1968's and 116 1969's. Plus 2 ZL-1 Alum engined Corvette's but only one has documentation. A third guy is trying to pass one off as real but he also has no documentation.

The 1970 426 Hemi automatic which is currently rated at 457 which is 7 hp more than the super stock rating. The 1970 426 hemi Cuda or Challenger are no longer competitive with the Chevy Ford and Mopar wedge motors. This combo was penalized because of one run by one person that was made in unbelievable conditions in Bellrose, La. The AHFS really just can't look at it from a black and white situation there are some gray areas here. I know this for a fact because I have parked my Cuda I ran SS with it but unless you spend high dollars you can’t be competitive with a stocker disguised as a SS. And I’ve always liked stock, it has always been fun. Had some great times, miss it and all my friends (well I hope they’re my friends). Oh yeah, I can build another car but I like mine. So really all the Ford’s and Chevy’s and yes even Mopar guys you really don’t have anything to bitch about until you get hit with over 216 LBS in less than 18 months. Just think of this, the hemi combo has to weigh over 3820 lbs. in A/SA. and over 3940 in top stock. Wow why don’t I just attach my trailer and drag it with me. Egos will take over and someone in the new mustang will go very very fast. Time will tell. just my 2 cents.
