But like all under factored combinations got hit with HP, became not so attractive for those that just wanted to go fast and there are no where near as many of them out there making noise. In other words they had their heyday as the controversial fast cars. Everyone has their day. So would agree that these days their HP rating may not be so soft.

I couldn't agree with you more! The MoPar F bodies had their day and now are over factored has beens, but don't tell Perrone! He's still back in the early 2000's and still thinks those taxi's are a threat to him! Jim

The Volare/Aspen 360's are has beens? There are 4 different 360 combos that can be run. I only take credit for getting HP on two of them. There are a few others responsible for the others. With that said I dont see why they cant run with any other combo out there,excluding the DP's and mustangs of course. Maybe James is right in calling them soft. Of course no where near as soft as his combo.

Ken, I was sort of being sarcastic but only because James was being so ridiculous. Jim

I know one thing if Jerry Bennett and George Widuch were still running those things they could run with any other cars except the new crate motor cars.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever made a 62 run like theirs? Not that I'm aware but I could be wrong...two really fine gentlemen to be sure.

Many moons ago, we had two wagons with the 4x2 383. Both were fast. One was bought as a national record holder. Many Moons ago

Uncle already! Still quite an accomplishment the way it runs...and looks second to none.

Thanks for the names, some of which I need to do some research on.
