Had a friend in Cedar Hill in 1973 that had a bone stock 1970 Cougar Eliminater that Nobody could out run . It had a 351 Cleveland with a top loader 4 speed
We used to race at night on 1385 and it took down some bad to the bone big block chevys . .. wasn't the Cleveland a big block 351 and the Windsor was the small block. The Cleveland was better for racing since it would breath better than the windsor. and it was a big block and could be bored out to even bigger CI and would produce more HP they are both small blocks but from different families. the cleveland was a 335 engine. it had heads with enormous valves Interesting I never knew that I was more GM but I did know the Cleveland wouldn’t interchange parts with other ford small blocks

Gotta stick with the one that brung you...45 years ago funny I owned mustangs and Z28's but as I have gotten older I sure would love to find me a Roadrunner to rebuilt. when I get a few free minutes. That or a mid 70's GMC or Chevy half ton to rebuilt into a hotrod. nothing like the sound of a slightly upgraded motor with pistons, cam and Carburetors.

Odd pick with the 70 mustang. The 69 is better looking and far more desirable. The 64 thunderbolt would be the most fun of that group. Tbolt would definitely be the quickest of that above mentioned cars. I voted Boss 429 Mustang because.....just because.

Not on the list, but the '67 Shelby Cobra 427 would be my choice.
What a maroon!

Bought it in 1985 and drove it all through high school. Even took it to college with me for a while. 406 ci small block, 4 speed and original rear end at first. Blew the rear and put a 12 bolt in. Blew the trans and put a turbo 350 in with 2500 stall speed converter for a long time. Rebuilt the engine in about 2000 and put a Richmond 5 speed back in it. Finally did a frame off restomod job to it to get it where it is today. It will stay with me forever.

Not on the list, but the '67 Shelby Cobra 427 would be my choice. this would be my choice --- in addition , 1) 1970 Dodge Challenger , R/T , 340 , 4 speed ----would have to be yellow with black stripping , shaker hood 2) 1969 Vet , 427 , fuel injected ( remod ) silver We had a guy in my neighborhood in the late seventies --- his dad bought one of the 69 Dodge darts with a 426 Hemi --no warranty . it was white and the exhaust was routed through the side . The dad owned a machine shop --- and rear end and suspension was heavily modifed --with 50's in the back nicely tucked in with the perfect rake angle . The motor was a dream to hear --- and this dad/kid combo raced for pink slips and never lost . Eventually , nobody would race him . It was white and they ran it with no hood ( not sure why )

I am a mopar boy from way back, but out of the choices, I went with the Judge, simply because of the styling package. My preference would be a 70 Plymouth roadrunner, not the superbird, with the 440 six pack.
