The Quickest Muscle Cars of the 1960's

I thought like Smokey, had several rules written.. Main one is "If it doesn't say you can, you can't" ;)

I don't know a lot about what is faster than what, but I do know that the new '66 Charger my dad bought was mighty quick. It was a 383 4bbl car with what I believe was the Torqueflite transmission. I could never guess how much faster the hemi must have been. I often wonder if my dad ever regretted buying that car with a 16 and 18 year old in the house. We did tend to push that car pretty hard and I am sure my dad knew what we were up to. .

Ahhh ... possibly in the "The Quickest Muscle Cars of the 1970's" list ?

So I had a look and with their number two spot unrevealed, it could possibly have made it, but one thing is becoming clearly evident ... C&D staff have no idea what a muscle car actually is.
