that "440" was a wedge....not a Hemi. ;-) <br /> <br />Nice car though,...3 duces, or dual Quads? <br /> <br />Those were some good years, back when the manufacturers had to sell 500 of something to qualify for NASCAR...Detroit turned some torpedos loose on the road, to be sure. <br /> <br />I'm not a big Ford man, but they released this "qualifier" back in like '66 or '67, that had 650 horses under the hood, off the dealers lot. <br /> <br />Guess they did quite a few things to try and "tone 'em down", put 'em in stationwagens that had heavy steel plating welded to the chassis to make them heavier, more "balky" etc. <br /> <br />Can you imagine some dodddering ol man buying one of those for his wife, "not knowing?" <br /> <br />Here Emma, I got ya something to pick yer groceries up in.... <br /> <br />
