Good Specs!
« on: April 06, 2005 - 09:50:42 PM »
Years ago, some of us neighborhood kids were at one kid's house looking through his father's Playboy magazines. I'm turning the pages, and what do I see (besides the models  ;D  )? Specs for the 1970 cars, including the Hemicuda, 383 Challenger R/T and even a 440 Charger Daytona with a top speed listed as 170 mph!
The kid let me tear out that page and some years later I was able to find, at used book stores, two more issues which had 1968 and 1966 specs.
Here are the 1970 specs. I had to scan it large so it could be legible...

Here are the 1968 model year specs:
(Note the 155 mph top speed of the Charger and Coronet... even faster than the 427 Corvette listed.)

One more... the 1966 model year:
I find it interesting that the Dart and Monaco have the same 0-60 mph time (9 secs.) and the Barracuda and Grand Prix also have the same 0-60 mph time (8.5 secs.).
