The 8 Quickest American Cars of 1962

Good information except for the 11 second Plymouth. Two seconds faster than the Dodge (BTW: which must have been available with a 4 speed). Nothing stock was doing 11.81 in the 1/4 mi. in 1962

The Beach Boys taught us that the 4-speed dual quad positraction 409 has never been beat.

8:55 Thats no cross ram intake manifold.

I had a Sportster in High School. First day as a Senior in a new school some bikers who gave me the bike escorted me and my gal to the school parking lot. One guy, Teddy, did an awesome burn out and me and my sweetie walked through the smoke and through the crowd that gathered in complete silence looking only ahead. We changed that school and later my girl got a 69 Malibu....life was so good back then..

Pontiac 421 was my first car...still remember squealing tires whenever it seemed right.

The performance figures for the Avanti are all mixed up the 0-60 time is for the standard engine with the 3-speed auto, the 1/4 mile time is for the standard engine with the 4-speed, and the top speed is for the supercharged engine with the 4-speed. The supercharged engine with the 4-speed is the fastest overall with a 0-60 time of 6.3, 1/4 mile in 14.9, and a top speed of 178.5 mph. A world record for a production car at the time and 50 mph faster than the previous record.

BEACH BOYS, SHUT DOWN: It happened on the strip where the road is wide, two cool shorts standin' side by side Yeah, my fuel injected Stingray and a four-thirteen. A revvin' up our engines, and it sounds real mean

Had a 67 Chevy Caprice with a factory 427 and Turbo400 Transmission in 1979. Nothing rattled a Mustang or Camaro owner like a full-sized hardtop that could pull up to them while they were racing on the Interstate and watch the driver wave to them and then walk away from them.

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL & I LOVE THIS VIDEO, WITH THESE AMAZING VINTAGE CLASSIC CARS WOW, AWESOME VIDEO REVIEW AS EVER.

So the Dart that was shown had a Cross Ram intake that he didn't mention but he said the Fury had a Cross Ram but the one he showed didn't have a Cross Ram, what's unfortunate about this is, he sounds like he knows what he is talking about, so the younger crowd will go off thinking the know what a Cross Ram intake is, History will be re written incorrectly when Us old guys are gone.

We were putting those huge 500 hp engines into in Vega, Pinto, Maverick, Falcons, Arrow, Gremlin, Astra, 80s dodge charger. Its a cult. Were freaks lol.

I owned a '62 Corvette with the 340 horse engine (four barrel carb) and I ran it drag racing. My best time was 13.02. I don't remember the speed. That thing would run.

my mom & dad had a Studebaker dealership. i remember putting the 1966 brochures in the rack but never got a 1966 car. the funny part is v.w. was not yet established here in the u.s. dad had to chose between Studebaker & v.w. in 1959. a friend of his said he was crazy if he sold as he said described v.w. bugs as "cockroachs" by the end of the 1969 v.w. dealerships were worth over $4,000,000. dollars. they did open a huge dodge dealership in 1969. we sold 1800- 2300 new cars a year. it was all for nothing. mom & dad bought my brother lucien v. bonadonna a ford dealership that was in business for over 60 years that he tanked in less than 1.5 years. unfortunately he robbed the ford dealership after almost 60 years in the business dad died broke while lou lived big. can you hear me lou the loser?

Interesting Avanti had the 289. A 289 able to run 170mph with that much torque is really awesome. It would be nice to hear about the deal with ford to use the 289..

Hi i wanted to tell you from the video mercedes evolution concept c111 looks like an airplane and not a car

IF YOU ATE INCLUDING THE THUNDERBOLT, THEN YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE THE 426 HEMI CARS AND THE MAX WEDGE CARS

The times were a little off but , Great watch 👍🏻🇺🇸

I don't believe the Fury Super Stock can do 11.81 with the tires shown. 💩

I absolute like this video pd evolution

The Dart and the Fury have the same engine so why does the larger heavier Plymouth do an 11 second 1/4 with the Dart being 2 seconds slower? If they're legit times could be trans choice or rear gears. I have a gold 62 4-speed Avanti. Unrestored orignal 106k car. I've had it for 22 years and have gone to great lengths to keep it fresk, had the paint refurbished, rust repair, seats restitched, new suspension etc. The problem now is the engine is going away and it whines loudly in 1st. Now, l'll never sell it so do l rebuild the 289 to keep it original or do l install the LS crate motor and Treme 6-speed l already have lying around and make it more fun?
