Good Story...Another Mopar getting spanked by a Buick. :eek2: Happened alot back in the day. By the time the street realized how fast they were, GM stopped building them.... ou:
I had a bone stock `67 Coronet RT with the 426 Hemi back in the mid-70's. I was never very impressed with it. I'm pretty sure my stock `87 T-Type would have walked all over it if I'd had them both at the same time.
