Hard to believe this - not calling you a BS-er though. Best 1/4 mile I ever ran in my 3:55 Auto 71 Hemi Charger was a 14:39 @ 99. The car was no slouch either - I was only beat by one car ever on the street. Also, I blitzed around the same big Chelsea test track (the BIG one) at about 140 in my Charger, and I was not alone! Bunch of us out there were tearing it up in 1981-82. Chrysler finally figgered it out - then no more Mopar Nats at the proving grounds!

I have two quick Mopar cop car stories to contribute here - both personally involved with:

1. One of my wife's cousins who is now retired, had a career as a policeman. In 1969 the town of South Lyon had some hot rodders that were raising hell & they had fast cars the cops could not catch with their 383 B-bodies. So they ordered a black '69 Roadrunner with a Hemi. Greg could not believe the story, so he drove out there one day to take a look (he was a cop for a different town) & sure enough, they opened the hood & there sat a 426 in all it's glory.

2. Junkyard in Phoenix, AZ. around 1986 had several old cop cars at the back row - all C-bodies - we were buddies with the owner of this particular yard. One of the cars had been used in the original movie Gone in 60-Seconds, & I could have bought it for a few hundred dollars. I passed on it but think now I shouldn't have! (of course)

I know Super8 is no iphone, but GEEZ......cool to see, but hard to watch. A shame the sound got 'lost' during the conversion.

I found it a little funny how at the end they explained the Superbird topped out at 188, but it was on a 9 mile long downward grade............

Pulled this pic from the http://www.stationwagonforums.com/ site. The closest I came to owning a squad wagon was owning a loaded Crestwood wagon with tow package and associated HD components that made up the package. At the time I also owned a basic '72 Coronet wagon, and the difference in ride quality and handling between the two was almost shocking. Due to black ice, my time with the Crestwood was short lived......
