JUST CAME ACROSS THIS FUCKING INSANE EXAMPLE OF ANOTHER FACTORY ROCKET FROM THE DODGE SIDE OF THE MOPAR TRIUMVIRATE, THE EPIC 'ELEPHANT' DONK UP FRONT AND A WHOLE LOT OF FACTORY DELETE SHIT CLUTTERING UP THE SHELVES BACK IN MOTOWN . . . . THESE THINGS WERE THE GEAR, ALONG WITH THE AFX's AND A LONG, LONG LIST OF WILD GO FAST GOODIES THAT HAD FORD AND G.M FEELING MORE THAN A LITTLE WEAK AT THE KNEES.
FAIR ENOUGH, THEIR STYLING WAS PRONE TO HIT AND MISS AS A RESULT OF PUSHING TO HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THE BIG TWO, BUT AS FAR AS POWERTRAINS AND RELATED GO FAST "MOTOR PARTS" WENT, THEY WERE PRETTY CLOSE TO UNAPPROACHABLE ON THE MEAN STREETS AND MEANER STRIPS ACROSS THE U.S OF A . . . . THE BEACH BOYS WERE FUCKING DREAMING !!!
It wasn't just the Hemi, or even its smaller capacity predecessors, there was the stone killer Max Wedge 413, cross rammed and ready to gun down just about anything in their path or had the lack of smarts to lay down the challenge . . . . most of these monster rigs were capable of being street legal, eventually with all waranty null and void, but the evil AFX wedge motored jiggers were strip use only, so successful were they that the NHRA banned them . . . . only to readmit them when Joe Public went feral at their enforced absence. Then came the 440, another thundering big game killer that left most of the competition spluttering in a cloud of smoke and soiled underwear . . . .
**** Thanks to "samspace81" for letting us view this from his awesome collection of video footage on the dirty old PooTube . . . . super unreal man !!!!

Wow - I can post on here finally ! Straight axles are the shit - saw the Weld-Er-Up '55 do a giddy up outta Mr.D's in Vegas - and each gear he grabbed shot that lil' blue projectile - like a whoop, whoop whoop . . . it was gone. Musta had the 613 cogs in the ass end. Slicke'r snot on a door knob - Clean & Bitchin' - So cool !
ReplyDeleteShit oh dear, .613's, that was the arse puckering diff ratio, no wonder it was throwing flame mortars and no wonder so many young blokes wasted themselves and the cars, hence the factory pulling the pin on warranty claims . . . I just love that sleeper/businesmans coupe, bottom of the option list look, by the time you've made that mistaken assesment it's all over. Good to hear from you Noot, diggin the blog man.
