Don’t forget the “300” of the old days was gross HP rating.

Some of the old models had 390HP (especially those with the 413 with Ram Jet). Even my base model 383 based '65 non-letter 300 had enough torque to go with its nominal 330HP to be fun, even though the hardtop coupe was not exactly svelte.
