Sorry, in my opinion a Shelby GT 500 would spank any SS - no question |

Wasn't the GT500 and extremely limited edition Mustang? I think the SS was fairly common. |

Anybody with $4K could buy a Shelby GT500 and for a few dollars more get a GT500KR which stood for King of the Road!
 The '69-'70 model Dodge Chargers with 440 mags or 427 Hemi's were bad to the bone.  BigDozer66 |

'69 Mustang Mach I, 428 Super Cobra. www.etconnect.com/gt/feamac.htm If I had that car and he had a feather up his ass we'd both be tickled to death. My first car was a '66 'Stang w/289cid, it ran ok but I didn't really have the money to bring out it's full potential, damn shame too.

Just make sure if you get the 302 that you change out the rocker arms. The stock '67,302 rocker arms had a ridge that would eat away at the valve stem at high rpm.

Challenger, Cuda, Road Runner, Dart. No contest. Don't believe me? Just look up the race results from every NHRA event in the late 60's/ early 70's. BTW, Dozer "The '69-'70 model Dodge Chargers with 440 mags or 427 Hemi's were bad to the bone." You mean 426 Hemi.

302's did not come out until 1968. If you are going to rev up a small block you would be wise to change all the parts of the valve train including putting in rocker studs.
Even though I am a Ford guy I have to be honest and say the Boss 302 was a pig on the street, especially a 69 with the bigger intake valves. The Boss 351 motor was a much better combination.
Both cars were COPO cars and not general production models. If you want to go that route I would prefer a 427 Ford Thunderbolt or a 1968 Super Stock Hemi Dart/Barracuda.
Of course in 1969 $4,000 would buy you a 427 Yenko Nova, $4,400 a Camaro. Worth mucho dollars now given the extremely lower production numbers compared to the GT 500 ( not counting the conv. )
A plain jane 68 1/2- 70 Cobra Jet Mustang would eat up a GT 500 and they were fairly common. Heck for that matter even a 427 Fairlane which I think was Ford's greatest car with potential. |

It was a 1968 Mustang in Bullitt, there were two cars used one was a GT and the other was not, ( you can see this in the movie if you look close, sometimes there are cutouts in the rear valence for dual exhaust and other times not), they both had a 390 FE and were modified to look the same. IIRC the non GT was destroyed and the GT is still around somewhere, it's a big secret but it exists. Screw in rocker arm studs and non-rail rocker arms are a must for any performance ford small block. And don't forget the 68-69 Fairlane/Torino, standard body, not the fastback with the 428 CJ. |

The new Dodge Neon SRT-4 is the fastest/quickest production car Dodge has ever sold
At least, to my understanding...don't know how the Ram SRT-10 fits (is it a normal production car, or a one-off?....and the Viper is basically a one-off. We're talking "normal people who don't have a rich daddy can buy this car" kind of vehicles...) |

Ford's only mistake was not building a 351 to put in the later Stangs to compete with the Camaros and Birds. It would have eaten their lunch, the 302 gave them about all they wanted.

Interesting comment. I will have to watch the movie again. I do know that they removed all the Ford emblems off the Mustangs. I can think of no reason why they would get both a GT and a plainjane fastback. Doesnt make sense to get two cars that are not identical when you want them to be. Besides the rear valence cutout the hoods would also be different if true. 428CJ was an option on any 1968-69 Torino/Cyclone: hardtop, fastback, conv. I have physically seen one 69 Conv. Torino with a 428 Drag pack option. Racing wise, it has been my experience that the coupes would launch better but the fastbacks were better on the top end and all around. |

I'd take a 68-69 DZ 302 Z-28 Camaro almost over any car even made today.
Bout the only car I'd take over that would be a 68-69 Yenko Camaro that comes with all-aluminum 427. So in case you didn't figure it out, I vote for the Camaro. |

1969 Dodge Daytona Charger with a 426 Hemi. The first car to do 200mph in nascar, without a draft, at Talledega.
But let me mod it up some... 528 hemi with a blower 6speed stick lower it a tad 4-wheel disc brakes |

+1 for the Cuda.
I really like the late 60's Firebirds & GTO's personally, but I still gotta go with the Cuda. My pal's got a 71 with a 383 out of a Roadrunner. Dual quad setup. When he steps on the gas your chest sinks with the acceleration. I'd love to drive it some time, but that's kinda like asking if you can sleep with his wife. |
