My second car was a '68 Firebird with the tach on the hood ... off the show room floor.

Both it and the Camaro were almost identical .... both too light in the rear end for dragging.

My first was a 69 drop top Malibu SS 396. Second car was a 67 fastback ‘Stang with a 390.

One was 350 bucks, the other was 325 bucks. Drove the living hell out of them.

In the Mustang, I put sandbags in the rear wheel wells for traction. It got REAL interesting trying to corner in that thing... and with drum brakes all around, it got even MORE interesting trying to stop it, haha!

The Malibu was heavier, so it handled a little better (not much...)

But they were fun, for sure. Better than the personality-less uni-blobs from Toyotuburundaikia that we have now.
