At 16, when I got my driver's license & didn't have my own (used '55 265 Belair) car yet, a friend of the corner gas station's younger mechanic taught me to power shift my Father's '62 Impala 327/250 3-speed column shift. The guy had the almost the exact same car as my Dad's, color, interior, etc. except for a 327/300 4-spd. Also taught me to double-clutch 2nd to 1st, no 1st gear synchro then.

In high school in the early 70's, a friend found a '55 Chevy that had been retired from the drag strip. It had in it (guess what?) the dual quad 409, with headers, a 4500 lb racing clutch, 4 speed, in front of a stock rear end. Damn, it was fast! Even the guys with 427 Camaros, 396 Novas, or anything else wouldn't take him on. Took it to the strip once, turned 11.71. I saw it crack a windshield once when he hit second gear due to body flex (yeah, in a'55 Chevy, those things were tanks). And the paint job looked like an old junker. I'll never forget that car. Oh, the memories.............

My dad used to street race as a teen in the early 60s. He was a Mopar guy, but used to tell me about a couple sleepers that a few guys had from neighboring towns. A 63 409 4 speed Impala was 1 of them. Dad said the guy used to change out the rear tires to a 9 inch Butal-Aire mounted on wider rims, at a gas station before a race. Rated as a rain tire they were super soft and became known as the poor man's slick. Pretty soon, the only guys that would race him was a guy with a 421 Poncho and a rich kid with a Max Wedge. Dad claimed that the only way those cars could beat the 409 was if that driver missed a shift.

An old machinist I used to go to had bought a new 1963 Impala SS with the 409/425. He had just graduated High School in 1963 and had some money saved and his dad told him he would add to that so he could get anything he wanted. He went to his local Chevy dealer and ordered one with the 409/425 and a 4.11 rear gear. He told me he would go down every couple of days to see if the car was being built yet. After a couple of months the dealer told him that the 409 was in high demand and it might take a couple more months. The dealer said he could get him any other engine Chevy offered, including the Fuel Injected 327 and have it there in 3 to 4 weeks. My friend refused and said he'd wait on the 409. It finally arrived and he said he left black marks all over his town for months. On a side note, I've never heard of a Fuel Injected 327 in a '63 Impala. I wonder if many were made of if it was just some special order that the dealer could get through to try and make a customer happy? It would have been a really cool car with that engine.

I have a feeling the Oldsmobile owner didn't really want to flog on his engine. 3700 pounds that Cutlass must've been loaded up with options. The secret to Oldsmobile tearing up the drag strip on Sunday and selling on Monday was, wait for it. Local dealer would order W-31 package on a bare bones f-85 no options, bench seat, rubber floor mat, radio delete, no side moulding. Car weigh from 3250-3300 pounds. Plus those W-31s were factory blueprinted and hand assembled by the cats that designed the engine.

Better than anything Ford or Mopar small block at the time, only the L79 327 Chev & later the LT 1 in the 1970 & half Camaro. That's the thing everyone talks Chevy small block this Chevy small block that, but no one talks or remember the W 31. I wouldn't even think there is one here in Australia. Anyway another great video with my favorite A Body GM, your 69 Chevelle is nice but Oldsmobile are a nicer looking semi fast back look. Great video really enjoyed it.

The '63 catching "scratch" on almost every gear shows the car/driver were up to the task. [Wink.]

Cars of thr 60s were very scary for their time. They still can outperform alot of these newer muscle cars

My grandma had one with the 400hp 409 in it. Man, I loved going to anyplace, anytime with her in that car. She didn't pussy foot it so it was like an amusement park ride, only much more intense.

I've read the main difference twixt the 340 & the 400 were head gaskets. The 340 had double head gaskets per side so if you wanted the 400 version all you had to do was pull the heads & install 1 gasket per head. Read that in Hot Rod, etc in the '60s.

The Olds missed a shift on that run. He was fairly close through low gear, but then dropped way back. Trap speed was way off, too. That he later ran a second and a half quicker and almost 20 mph faster shows what it was capable of. Of course, he still would have lost to the 409, but it wouldn't have been embarrassing.

My first car was a 64 Impala SS. It's probably a good thing that it was a 327 w/powerglide. The way I drove back then, I might not be here if it was that 409.

My friend had both. He set the F/S National ET record with the Olds 12:43.

Pops was doing a REAL speed shift. Hope the 409 has a rev limiter on it. I scattered a 350 once when a shifting fork broke 😅

I have seen a few people with very nice older cars take it easy with a manual transmission at the drags. But they can say they drag raced!

I don’t think the Impala driver let off the accelerator as he was shifting. Very impressive.

409 for the win. I’m back; just as expected.
