do you know for a fact the engine was stock? Do you know for a fact the rear was a 2:73 or is that what the tag says?
Perhaps your other cars were just that slow.....:dontknow:

I know the car was stock my dad was the original owner. I know the car flat out flew for big car my friend had 68 impala w hippo 396 he could not keep up with . I had another friend at the time with 350 firebird he could not keep up with me on the highway I had the speedometer pinned a few times with room to spare. My 69 was no slouch it was a beast for what it was and still to this day I have no idea why it was like that
