Two boats I had during High school, the one I am standing in was a 67 Newport drop top, 68 440 with dual fours. She would pass anything on the open road, I mean anything. The four wheel manual drum brakes and torsion bars guaranteed you were not going to be stopping all that mass fast, nor were you going to be turning fast at speed.
The brown bomber was a 68 NewYorker with a 440 4bbl, fully loaded and about as fun as an oil tanker.
