  2. Stock street cars. Before Ford got with it, Chevy had the 396 (Chevelle), 427 (Vette), 350 (Camaro Z28) long before. When ford had a 302 something Torino. Don't forget the GTO by Pontiac either! 3 deuces.

    1. Ford had a 427 in 1963. The GTO came with a 4 barrel rated at 325 and 3 deuces rated at 360. I could beat the 4 speed and auto 325 with by Ford H-Po 4 speed, but not the 4 speed 360. All 3 manufacturers were competitive in 1965. The 426 hemis were good with a 4 speed, but not with an auto. A 65' 289 Cobra was the fattest thing I had ever ridden in at that time. There was only .2 difference between the 289 and 427 Cobras in 0 m- 60.

    1. I assume you mean the AC Cobra as Carroll Shelby died in 2012 unfortunately.
