I lived in a small town where the ratio of muscle cars was very high in the early '70s. There was one just like the photo.

The quickest by far off the line though was a '32 Ford with a big block Olds engine. Don't remember the particulars but it would pin yer ears back when it took a leap...

A friend of mine had a 55 Chrysler 300.
I believe it was the first production American
car that had over 300 real BHP.

My Brother has a 32 Ford 5 Window Deuce Coupe.

He built it by himself when he was 16. Started out as a bare rolling chassis. He built a Chevy 283, put in a close ratio four speed and a 456 rear end.

It could pop a wheelie if he wanted to.

He’s 62 now and he still has the car.
