1958 Ford FE Drag Car goes 8.77@147 at Beaver Springs April 2017 

My car through college, and dating the girl now 53 years with me... a 58 Custom 300. But that old six cylinder three-on-the-tree wasn't setting any 1/4 mile records!

Joseph Taverna, I'm Old School too and I have every reason in the world to think the same.

😂🤣😂🤣 bitch please 🤣

@@jameshankssr466 hey Jimmy Hanks if your comment was directed towards me then all I can say is is that were talking about machinery but it seems like your wanting to make this personal so all I can say is that at least I wasn't born out of a catchers mitt one to many different men's loads

@@josephtaverna1287 😂🤣😂🤣 no it wasnt it was about your comment! But you Obviously have mommy issues because that was your mother catching all those loads! Grow up

@@jameshankssr466 I'm tired of you to bad isn't that you can't stop me from watching Jerry and Caleb I've got a hunch who you voted for pure

I am. 59s on the otherhand...

Ford out-sold Chevy in '57.

@@bruceferguson6637 so why don't we see more of them. That's what I can't figure out.

@@rogerbeutler5671 Probably because they were popular on the used car circuit. Like the first generation Monte Carlo, wildly popular when new, very rare today.

@@bruceferguson6637 They also outran'em.

"old boats?" Oh compared to today's ugly little jellybeans or bland Foxbodys oh ok .

That ain't what he meant sssss 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤬🤬🤬💩💩💩 for brains mfr

Thats sad news to hear a rare ‘58 Ford won’t be around anymore😩

@Dr. Rabbit that sucks hopefully he builds another one.

I know right" who cares if joe blow likes the body Style, the dang video is about FE power. I bet they wouldn't tip a stripper with fake breast eather, 🎤

F...Fierce O...Onery R...Rugged D...Dependable

Fucked.... On........... Race....... Day......... O on.

yeah, there are tons of them in top fuel & prostock. don't forget the rule made for ford last year in prostock where they don't have to use their on mfgs engine any longer. i don't recall many fords qualifying in recent years until that rule was implemented.

They're not big...They got a lot bigger later. Prolly 3300lbs. This car seems to be half fiberglass as well.

@Doug Sanders hey Doug good evening alot of people would disagree with you I tend to side with you but I still love the 427 by the way did you hear that Ford set the new world record 298 miles an hour one mile straight shoot stay safe Doug have a good night PS you need to check out the Black Mamba Mustang phenom

It does have wings.

@@billdougan4022 hey Doug good evening they must be see threw lol stay safe take care

I'll take the 32 Ford roadster. Or the 55 Chevy Harrison Ford drove, it's too bad he totaled it out, LOL.

Didn’t know a 58 Ford could go that fast! It appears to be a stock body.

@@ronkirby9861, It looks to be all metal, when he was cleaning up the tires, the way the body responded, it was solid.

In 1986 I had a clean stock '66 T-bird Town Landau; swing away steering, stock front discs, leather, 4 buckets, and a 428 c.i. that didn't stop smoking those fat, sticky radials until you let off the gas. And it must have weighed a metric shitload.

@@budlewis721 Metric 💩💩💩💩💩😂

@@xmo552 Legitimate unit of measurement; replaced "a whole bunch" in the metric/SAE changeover. Distances are still in increments of "way the hell and gone".

@@budlewis721 Sometimes you have to go til you hear banjo 🤠

Huh? You mean you want to build a 58-60 Tbird? It's been done i seen a 60 racing about 10 years ago

It's been a while since I've seen the car, but if I recall correctly it was a Jim Kuntz 527 wedge FE on race fuel and carburetors. No nitrous or forced induction. The car has since been destroyed in an accident, but Randy Spohn was not injured. I filmed that wreck but never posted it. It didn't seem right to display such a sad demise.

If it's windy with a large body car the coefficient of drag goes up and MPH down. Either one would cause it. Both really drop it

I was thinking that as well..........My junk did 153mph and I only did 8.99! 1.29 sixty. That thing must hit 1.0x sixties or faster

@@yoursistermustang Looks like it hit the tires pretty well...I’d say low 1.20’s or high teens.

Is that why the 58 impala was voted the best looking car ever built! You have zero taste in cars buddy

@@jameshankssr466 Actually, 1958 was a bad year for both Ford an Chevy, due to a recession. So who voted the 1958 Impala “the best-looking car ever built?” There are literally millions of such surveys, and they are all subjective, not definitive. Chevrolet built many better cars in later years, including the 1965 Super Sport.

xtc1957 recession has nothing to do with the looks or style of a car and the 65 chevy had just as many problems my father worked at a chevy dealer from 1956 to 1990 he owned a 65SS and it was the worst car he ever owned so dont try telling me about chevy all i ever owned was chevy and the 58 was voted best LOOKING car ever built and that has nothing to do with a recession

@@jameshankssr466 The recession had nothing to do with style or looks, but it accounted for the lower sales of Impalas that years, as it did with Ford Fairlane . The production numbers of both Chevy and Ford tumbled in 1958, then bounced back in 1959.

xtc1957 nobody cares how many were sold! Even if they only sold one car the 58 impala is best looking car ever built period! I dont care about 57s i dont care about 59s i dont care about the recession and i dont care how many were sold and i dont care about the 65 chevy

He let up when he saw taillights. Skunked.

@@josephtravers777 And the Mustang still ran a 13.53

He ran 13s like my 66 Galaxie XL with just a warmed over 390 to about 400 hp

For how much?

It's not a chevy!

Did you ever watch pinks the t.v show? Mopars got their butt handed to them by fords!🤣

Notq

I don't care because CHEVY is King of Street and Strip!!! SO THERE!!!!

@@timcheek5134 ford's are good for JUNK!!!

Chevys yuck!

Shut up and get back in your lawn chair, car show dork

Hemi, no...Cammer or Boss 9...

@@richardbaker595 I was thinking of a 526ci BAE Hemi not the 426 boat anchor.

That would slow it down!

Yeah a Ford hemi. 427 sohc Ford whipped mopars ass

I hate chevys and Bob glidden Bob chandler Bill Elliot showed them hillbilly chevys up! Remember when chevy beat Ferrari? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
