If You Could go Back In Time, and Design One Performance Car.

[Paul Ceasrine]

If you could go back into the 60's or early 70's and make your own changes or design "ONE" performance car.
Either a Super/Stock Package or Musclecar.
What would it be?

The 6-pack '68 'Cuda with fiberglass lift-off hood and fenders like the Race Hemi car.

340 6-pack in a Demon as well.

That one was done in 1971 Jared.

Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge built a run of just over 60.
Used the aftermarket "Tri-Power" aluminum oval air cleaners.

Funny thing about time -- things have gone full circle - in the late 60's I raced a 57 Bel Air with Fuel Injection and now its F bodies - again with Fuel Injection .I'd love to go back to the Bel Air's once again .................

I bet those were cool little cars. I assume they're not legal for Stock or SS? When I put that in my previous post, it was with the thought of making a class car out of it.

Jack I don't go back that far, I thought Bel Air was a place?

For me it would be a 1969-70 Boss 429 Mustang with these changes, two 780 carbs on a high rise intake. Factory headers and a .600 solid lifter cam. An auto trans, 3500 stall converter and a 4.30 gear.

The Boss was so detuned, it turned out to be just another mid to high 13's car. With these goodies it would have easily run mid 11's with a good tire.

Yep...I remember the ads in the old magazines...if I am correct, you could buy one for around $3200.00 + brand new.

Paul, nice thread....I would bring back the 1961-62 Corvette body style and size, put in a good adjustable rear suspension w/some Cal-tracs and wheel tubs big enough to accept a 10.5" tire...equip it w/built HD 12 bolt 4.56 rear, 6 speed, or a HD auto, and the current Corvette Zr1 motor, plus make available 3 smaller 4.8, 5.3, and 5.7 LS type V8 motors to run lower classes.... Lots of titanium and carbon fiber parts and keep it under 3,000 lbs raceweight, please.....Build 2500 total units WITH vin. #'s both years of a 2 year only build, so they COULD be sold to John Q. Public and possibly street driven....then get them into the Stock classification guide.... Giddy-up... WJ
