Should have had a Californian do the talking. We don't have an accent 😆 And we don't say "Zill" one or "Sid" . Most likely because we know and understand those abbreviations
@@rickyaeger5862 this guy doesn't really seem to have an accent, but for the abbreviations, I expect better from a channel called "cars junkie" Edit: no, I hear the accent now.
I now live in Vermont, and I consider it a crime of some form. Why would someone so ignorant try to pretend they know what they're talking about. What a joke.
Plymouth built an entire generation of Barracudas between 1967 and 1969 which were not based on the Valiant. It included notch-backs convertibles, and fastbacks that had nothing in common with the previous generation.
So many mispronounced names it’s ridiculous. And the ‘69 Corvette “Dubbed” as Stingray…really. Either get someone who knows and loves cars or get a new ‘bot. This could have been a good video.
Dave, after the first reading of C I D, I was done. It had to be a total butt wad. Either a millennial or someone completely unknowing of automobile verbiage. Maybe a robot, who knows.
One of the facts about the GT500 Super Snake is NOT true... It's NOT the most expensive Mustang ever sold at auction. The Bullitt Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in the movie Bullitt and later owned was at Barrett Jackson
697 1969 Trans Ams built 689 Trans Am Coupes 8 Trans Am convertibles 4 Automatics 4 4-Speeds All Convertables had the Ram Air III HO 400 and Blue Convertible tops and various options.
I had a 1969 Javelin , NOT AMX, but it was Meta flake Green with a landau roof, 390 CID, Auto, I SURELY wish I had it today, it was a BLAST to own, but, I was in the Navy in 1973 getting ready for deployment, had to sell...
It's amazing when someone does a video like this, with all good intentions, but has no clue other than the internet...and wasn't even a thought back then...still valiant attempt.
I'm still trying to figure out what a "Coolant V8" engine is in his video. I swear, this guy reminds me of some of the idiot engineers our company hires right out of college that don't even know how to turn a wrench.
the commentator knows nothing about cars, he's just reading the description, he does'nt know that cu-in means cubic inches, or CID means cubic inch displacement LOL
Yeah, we’d all have convertible hemi’s, big lock Chevelle’s, (well ANY big block car from that era) in our garages with window stickers still on them. BUT, they probably wouldn’t be worth the price there’re getting now, because they would be available.
No other car produced the amount of torque the 1970 Buick gsx did until the 1997 dodge viper! If they made the gsx today I'd get a divorce sell my kid to own one! That last part is joke by the way🤣
Dude this would be so much better if you took a little time to learn about cars before you talk about them. Such as the abbreviations. Hearing you read them as written is a joke sorry but I’m out.
A guy in Australia with a Corvette Stingray 454, he put a 6/71 and two four barrels on it 😮😲😲 it would MELT the tires ANY gear any where, just put your down INSTANT SMOKE
Surprised the the 66 Coronet 4-door with the Hemi engine wasn’t listed. Only 4 were made, 2 with auto and 2 with 4-speed. 2 were for the US market and 2 were for the Canadian market.
I had a 69 Corvette with a 427 in 1976, but it only had 390 hp by the book. Not sure what the difference was. It sure as hell did fly though. Almost literally when I opened it up, over 120 mph the front end got real light on a rough road. Scary.
The original fake louvres on the 63 hood were supposed to be real and let the air that got under the car at high speed have somewhere to go, but the Boss said just do fakes. Lol. I had a 64 my buddy a 65 and its a miracle we both survived. I topped out at 145 with a tweaked 327 he hit 155 with the big 396, but I could beat him from 0-60.
The L88 cam, over 300 degrees duration, combined with a 12.5:1 compress ratio, was one of the most incredible engines ever put our in the late ‘60’s. I had a 2nd design L88 cam in my big block. What a monster. While I’ve since moved on to turbo’s (I used to work for Steve Millen of Stillen fame), the L88 still holds a special place with me.
I have a L-88 427 open chamber crate short block with a casting date of March 12, 1973 which is a legal replacement for a 1969 L-88 Corvette. I also have the GM open chamber #074 heads to match.
Remake the 69 stingray.make it 20 percent smaller and put 1,100 horse twin turbo deals on aluminum 427 motors so they go 250 mph.and make the bodies out of aluminum.i want a red one a white one and a blue one.so get on it.
Why would any person or robot as at @5:13 and again @5:30, speak of "427 see-ewe eye en" instead of "cubic inch"? Doesn't anyone proof read or listen to this pap. Should the author be that guy or are "we" the only and final review. Kind of makes me wonder about the factual content. Nice cars tho, thanks for the pics.
Years ago my fiend asked me to come over to help with an engine swap. He swapped his 1969 corvettes 427 engine for a 390 and some cash. He used the cash to buy cocaine.
It is obvious to anyone who knows anything about the cars produced in the 60s and 70s knows more about them than the person doing the narration here. Common man your took the fun out of it. This guy brushes his teeth with a teeth brush.
Forgot several Factory cars. That he let Shelby in means he needed to let the other tuner cars of the day in, but ...., ZL1 Camaro 69 built many returned due to price, 68 428 SCJ Mustang 50 built, Talledegas, Thunderbolts, Z11 Impalas, Z16 Chevelles 201, L88 Corvettes barely 250 over 3 year production, Boss 9s, A12 Road Runners, Daytonnas and Superbirds, early Max Wedges, Super Duty Pontiacs of any year, RA II Firebirds and GTOs. Olds had some cars but Hurst was involved in the absolute hottest is why I left them out (tuner). AMC SC/Rambler and AMXs, 401 Javelins. He said rare and low production. The LS6 had over 4000 and was mentioned. I can pick but so did the poster. Other than the tuner cars, I can pretty much agree with the majority presented. Ford needed to put that Cammer in the Fairlane and sell them. They made it into Comets but not at the factory. What street legal in 65 would have kept up? ZING
Actually there were four 67 Coronet Hemi 's. Don Garlits owns the white one. The red one is in a private collection. The red one had an offer of $800,000 that was turned down recently. Also,....the white one Don owns was an FBI agent car that was in service for The Department of Justice for 5 years believe it or not. Now,....the other 2??? Well they were supposedly shipped to Canada to dealerships and weren't highly documented cars here in the U.S..
It's not a Dodge Corona it's a Dodge Coronet, pronounced Cor-Net. And you would be laughed out of a muscle car show if you said cuin instead of cubic inches & nobody says bhp it's just horse power or hp. If you're going to do video's like this learn your terminology.
The zl1427 was the same 427 as an l88 the difference was it had it aluminum block with iron cylinder sleeves and they only made 425 horsepower as advertised at 5,000 RPM the l72 made 530 or 35 horse 430 or 35 horsepower at 52 or 300 RPM the thing was the l88 ZL1 would wind up to 6,500 RPM and made in excess of 600 horsepower they were f****** monsters
Yep, and Chevy screwed up on the block design of the ZL1 aluminum block, the sleeves did not have flanges on top to locate the sleeve and thermal expansion would allow the sleeves to move down in the block causing the sleeves to crack. I had one back in the 70’s.
It's pronounced Cubic inches. Not Cub-in.. engine size. OMG.! Where do they find these guys.! Yeah, as a car guy, I know what you are trying to say. But to new up-and-coming gearheads, you're speaking in tongue .!
I dislike lists, they are very subjective. I like all musclecars, rare or run of the mill. It was a great moment in automobile styling and performance.
I can't imagine buying a car to basically look at! You know if it's wrecked or stolen, yo lose value BIG TIME! If I can't drive it the way it was MEANT TO BE DRIVEN, I wouldn't want it! It would be torture just revving it up in a garage once a month!! For say, a million bucks, you could buy 50 tricked out or restored original models you could actually ENJOY!! Hey, but that's just me. I know people collect them like baseball cards and are content to just look at em. To each his/her own.
A Corvette is not a muscle car it is considered a sports car you guys sit here and talk about cars and you don't even know the difference between a sports car and a muscle car
