You still have it? I got a 79 building a new hemi in it

What did it run

Bring back my younger days

Nice bonneville

baterry dead

Guys I'm a crane operator here building Amazon. I can't find track. Do you have specific coordinates? For all I know I might be standing on it right now where the Amazon building is going up.

Thanks man! I can still hear the ads on the radio "Sunday Niagara!". I'm a "few" years older than you so humor me, memory isn't what it use to be! I grew up in Jamestown and a guy up the street had a car he ran on that strip. It was a Chevy II with a big block Chevy, Muncie Crash Box, rear end set-up for the strip, and I seem to remember a Holly 850 on top? You could tell it was spring when he got her out and started to make her ready for the strip, she was LOUD! My folks hated it, I thought it was great. I wanted to tag alone with him to the strip, but Mom's words in those days were final, NO you can't go. I never got a good explanation why not. Anyway thanks for the tour it is a part of my growing up that made Western New York and the Buffalo area special. Be well and safe peace to you and yours.

I should have kept my 1980 Lebaron. I was so stupid for not keeping it. I almost want to get another one, but it won't be same exact car so I won't.

That looks like an open diff, am I wrong?

It really does seat about 20...

sweet

Nice, I bet the little low fuel warning light on the gas gauge was lit after this.

Nice!

Sounds much like Dad's old 383 Coronet when he'd give us kids a thrill ride.

100mph max thanks to that dial

These were family cars, kids. You could put 8 people in it, without using the trunk.

Imperial going through all its gears and still at 15mph 😂😂😂

where did you get your mods, i got a 77 with a 400ci but i have a really hard time finding after market performance parts, plus i havr no idea how to get rid of the electronic lean burn system without messing up my car

Ahh the old thermalquad without a air cleaner, I used to borrow my dads imperial go 2 blocks from the house pop the hood & trunk yank the aircleaner & toss it in the trunk......God that thing drank gas when I mashed the loud peddle

I used to get comments like that when I had one of my 340 Dusters because it had glass pak mufflers on it and it upset some . Thanks for the memories !

I picked up on of these for next to nothing in 1990 from a guy down on his luck. It had the 4bbl 400 with a edelbrock intake , headers and a hot cam, the old guy was the original owner and had basically done everything from top to bottom because he was disappointed in its performance after having had 440 polara prior to that, basically I didn’t realize what I was buying and it had freeway gears so I really wasn’t impressed until one morning I had the need to put some distance between me and a carload of gangbangers on a long straight stretch of highway and I put my foot through the floor board and I didn’t lift for the next 4 miles, that thing definitely impressed me then as she didn’t even shift into high gear until long after the speedo was buried. I’ve had numerous big block fords, 428’s , 429’s and 460’ s and I’ll take a properly set up 400 any day

Dude has the gas pedal floored, but scenery in the side window stay the same speed. 😄😄😄😄

holy crap.mustve had the 2.45 rear gear shifting into 3 at 100.

My Mom never drove her Cordoba that fast! Hers was a 76, 360, non Lean Burn.

So, what did you prove?

Love watching them in demo derbies. Very stout.

its like he first eats the batty volts and then cranks up

A 77 Cordoba with the 400 was my first car in high school: a hand me down from my parents. Dead slow off the line thanks to highway gears, but could do "M" on the speedo at any time, effortlessly. Could catch passing gear at 90mph and she'd just keep accelerating. Friends with Camaros and Firebirds would leave me at the lights, but once I got rolling, they might just as well have shut their cars off. Thirsty, but fun.

Sounds healthy not a lot of these left or at least on youtube. I have a 79 with the 360 LA and 4 barrel carb also 2 door

I love the camera position/angle - That bench seat looks like it's 8 feet wide. "Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big a whale"

Trees go by at same speed do not match RPM's

I legit have a 78 riight now wondering which way to go with this car, how hard is it to get rid of the lean burn b.s lol 😂

putt putt

Excellent performance video! I had a customer with the same car, back in the 80's. I had to remove the Lean Burn system, and rejet the mangled Thermoquad carb on it but once tuned up it ran like the wind. Just not as fast as your car though....

Beautiful car

Did you do anything to the heads?

I used to own one back in the early 90's before it was wrecked an salvaged due to how bad the damage was, but running on premium that thing would out race corvette's, mustangs!~

There goes that f-n cuda 😅

Not really into cars anymore. You came up in my feed so leaving a comment for the algorithm. Best of luck brother.

That lady has some long legs.

That's a wicked car you have sounds and looks dynamite

Bee's nest!? Really??? Bee's don't make nests

73' Roadrunner 340 ci?

i have a 1977 cordoba with a 400ci, what did you do to remove the Lean Burn System, and what exact headers are in it?

🙃 *promosm*

You can hear the gas being sucked out of the tank...lol

That's quick for a big heavy boat. I think I saw the gas gauge go down as fast as the speedo went up!

In 1982-86 the Pontiac Bonneville was a G body after they discontinued the LeMans in 1981 it looks nice originally

Don't folks realize that when you can't reach the steering wheel nor the pedals that vehicle handling goes right out the window.

Got the wife a new hyundai tucson. Let me know when you want to run for pinks. we'll talk about my couple of car lengths head start later.
