Kind of amazing that it launched that hard since he actually did the burnout IN the water and filled the wheel wells with water. Maybe pull out of the water about 5 or 10 inches. That way all that water isn't dripping down on your hot tires, dry tires usually hook better.
There were a number of beautiful cars in the '60s and '70s that were actually works of art. Most of them were smashed up because they had too much power for the average man to control.
A hemi Cuda used to sit beside the barn of a farm just down the road from our farm. They could not bear to junk it as it was the car their son died in when he rolled it. Must have sat there for 25 years.
That's exactly why insurance rates skyrocketed for high performance cars then, and manufacturers were understating the actual HP. Young guys were coming home from Viet Nam with money in their pockets and they couldn't wait to go out and get one of these landlocked missiles they had heard of but never drove. A lot of those potent machines were destroyed for just that reason. A real shame!
É sempre bom e deve ser seguido como exemplo como os americanos preservam os seus velhos mais bem conservados carros em especial os legendários mustangs.
I can’t believe the opportunities I’ve had to own 69 and 70 mustangs and never took advantage of them. One 69 was offered to me for a yamaha 1975 DT250 Enduro And a 1978 YZ125 that were both mine and I had gotten the YZ125 for free. There was a third guy that had a YZ400 that I wanted and he happened to want the mustang (a little less into MX racing than I was)at the time. But we made the three way trade
that is true. My best story is looking at a road runner with.a semi in a garage and turning it down because the interior was gone. The price was 2500 dollars. this was in 1978. Mustang mach 1's were all over for 1000 dollars if you weren't fussy. I bought a 71 Z28 with 60000 miles on it for 2800 and sold it to buy a 68 427 4 speed corvette for 5000. I could go on and on. My first real car was a 68 mustang fastback. 1000 dollars. It was 4 years old.
@@thomasopdahl1873 hey Thomas I had gotten an old Opal GT for $400. And painted it Ferrari Red and cleaned it up and had a guy from across the street stop and asked if i wanted to trade for a 1971 Pontiac Trans Am for it and it was the all blue with the white stripe down the middle of it about a foot wide. The only birds were little ones, it. Had a 455hp, factory headers and traction bars and the working hood scoop when you kicked the 4 barrel in. And I jumped on it. $400. I had in it…. I miss that one too.
