Title: Some days I love my work! Classic muscle car pics
Post by: Charlief on October 19, 2013, 04:48:01 AM
As a Snap-on Dealer I see some really nice cars. These three at a local shop just blew me away. I love old iron.

This one is a Factory Five GTM kit car. The paint on this thing is flawless. They were prepping it for the SEMA show

The Yenko is truly awesome. The Nova was just bought at Barrett-Jackson auction and was getting a once over.

Don Yenko's Camaros were equipped with a 427ci L-72 in them with either an M21 or M22 transmission. The horsepower was rated at 450 hp (336 kW)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yenko_Camaro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yenko_Camaro)

I think the hp ratings during that era were intentionally low so that insurance was still affordable.

At least that is what I read on the internet.

Nothing. Except insurance didn't cost as much then. No mater what HP your car had. Think about it. Or google prices back then.

Insurance and the early '70s gas embargoes and shortages (to a lesser degree, prices due to shortage) brought an end to the awesome.....and then there's the new emissions requirements for '72 and the need to run unleaded gas.....
Title: Re: Some days I love my work! Classic muscle car pics
Post by: ducpainter on October 21, 2013, 05:27:58 AM
It's all relative.

In 1965 a brand new Shelby Cobra w/ a 260 V8, the AC Ace version not the Mustang, was 6K. Insurance was priced accordingly.
Title: Re: Some days I love my work! Classic muscle car pics
Post by: Charlief on October 21, 2013, 03:27:09 PM
Manufactures were known to underrate HP in their vehicles back then  It was due to insurance costs and gas mileage. Even though insurance was "cheaper" back then it was still the 60s and salaries were relative to that era.

Post by: Howie on October 21, 2013, 09:03:07 PM
Do keep in mind horsepower figures back then were gross, not net.  Figure about a 20% difference on most cars.  Also, the most powerful of the muscle cars were sometimes underrated, but others were...ummm...optimistic.

My '67 Cougar got several times as many honks and thumbs up as my '07 GT500 did. Of course, the GT500 had over double the horsepower, but it was invisible by comparison. Guess which one I still own?  ;D

I don't want to see the radiator support...or have to look that closely to notice it has a grille.

The builder was all about people 'not' noticing things sticking out. To my eye that sticks out.

I still like it. [thumbsup]

'64/'65 Mustangs had that hexagon mesh grille material from the factory. Probably just more noticeable since the core support is painted white (originally black) and there's no pony and corral or any other trim cluttering it up....

The F40 got a failing grade as one of Ferrari's biggest mistakes.  At least on Top Gear......  Even I have to admit that the expanded metal on the grill of the Mustang and the tail of the Ferrari look like poo.

Kinda like Ducati using cheap plastic fluid reservoirs.......

The F40 was universally praised.

You are correct!  It was the F-50.  Not being in the "buying a Ferrari anytime this next couple of years club" I forget little details lol.  If the new gig goes well maybe that will change.  For now I try not to look to hard at cars that cost way more than I can afford.  Gives me the same feeling as looking at a hot 24 year old.  Kinda like blue car balls......   ;D

The Summer of Love is a lie?

I was shocked to find out it was '67 and not '69 (which totally would've made more sense).

Not an awesome muscle car, but neat.  I saw a Delorean at the shop this morning when I picked up my truck.  Very odd sight in this little town.
