Two awesome examples of classic muscle!  The 440 AND the Yenko!  Anybody got a "real" figure on the kind of HP the Yenko put out?

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)

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

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.

What would gas prices have to do with insurance prices?

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.....

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.

a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."

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.
