The real thing with its hand hammered aluminum body with the ladder frame and 427 was a machine that would scare the hair off a gorilla. I never got to ride in a 427 but did the 289 and it was very impressive. Very light weight, just barely over two thousand pounds and with just a little over 300 hp, it was very quick for me, a high school kid.

The 427 was just in the category of “it oughta be against the law!”

Yeah there are no electronic driver aids like the modern supercars.
