LOL did you see the one where they "restored" a 68 charger and ran it at the drags against a new charger RT?
Their "restored" muscle car ran really, really slow. Like Turtle slow. 40 horse VW bug slow. 19 seconds at 75 mph.

They installed a junkyard 383, prolly a 2 bbl version out of a truck or station wagon. Either that or they had no clue how to time or jet one.

For comparison, a box stock 1968 charger with a 318 2bbl ran in he high 16s when new.
A new 68 383 charger ran 15.7 in the quarter.

The old man started making excuses something like: "you gotta time the lights just right. Miss the lights and it can cost you a couple seconds".
LOL what bullsheet.
Timing the lights means nothing to elapsed time. It only effects who crosses the line first.
They built a 150 hp General Lee.
Oh the shame.
For all we know they could have done it on purpose to try and make the new chryslers look allot faster in order to sell more cars, I wouldn't put it past the advertising whores.
