7 seconds to 100km (62mph) is not bad for a car that was made in 1975. Great stuff !

Looked like 14sec/85mph or so, with first and second. Love that Cop motor and Torqueflite combo. This big highway car probably had a 2.76 for the open highway and fluffy drive characteristics in town. The old 440 dishes out wonderfully smooth torque. That was one fantastic motor.
