Re: Perhaps a little off topic...



In '69-'70 I feared nothing on the street with my '69 Swinger 340 (4-spd, 3.91).  Lost a few races but won most. 
 
One night at Ft. Benning chose off a Road Runner.  Had no worries as usually ate them up....pulled even in first gear...hmm, even in 2nd... now I starting to wonder...as usually I'm pulling ahead of RR's at this point....he left me like I was standing still in 3rd!  Turns out it was one of the first 440-6bbls!  I hadn't even known about them yet.  Unfortunately he was a jerk about it.   But still a fun memory!  Ah!  I loved my MOPAR... still do.  Got that Dart down to 13.08, pure stock with those skinny stock D-70’s! 
 
And that’s why I again have a Dart Swinger340.
 
On ‘62 to ‘65 content:  The Dart replaced the 1963 Custom 880 ex-CHP car I had...413 but a BIG car.  Open-mouthed smile

Doug,
 
I took my Dart w/340 to the strip one night and beat all cars that were matched up with me till a GTO Judge appeared; man, I thought this is where I get creamed...I smoked him right off the line and pulled to over 10 car lengths ahead to turn a 12.8 @106mph through the muffs to his 13.8; saw him later at a “cruise-in” and he was gracious enough to publicy exclaim he was thoroughly outrun.

Very cool Jim. 
One of my favorite memories is laying a big hurt on a GTO Judge with my '69 GTX.
Funny thing about that is, while bench racing at my buddys garage about a year ago, that story came up,, and his son in law mentioned the Judge his dad had "back then".  The son-in-law told his dad the story,, who in turn affirmed the memory, albeit from the loosing side of the  fence.  His dad has a 70 GTO now, with a 400 in it.  Thinks he'd like a rematch against my ragtop.  hmmmm

Doug,

So that's what they mean.  Hmmm.  OK.

How bout we say, technically, the GTO started it all, although, historically, 
Mopars had already been throwin' a beatin' on the competition for years LOL
