The ONLY thing that kept me from dropping out of high school back in the early 80s was Auto Body Shop and my teacher ( Mr. Caldwell). Before auto body shop I missed at least 60 days of school after I got into body shop the first year i missed 2 days ( jr year) and my senior year i missed 1 day. After High School he got me a job at a local Chevrolet dealership . I went on to work 25 years in the auto body trade.

This was the body design for 1970, but development of Superbird, using Dodge front fenders (Coronet) made late summer of 69, and stamping problems on these curves...Only detail of THIS design, from wind tunnel, is grille shape called "Bulldog" was used in 70 Satellite / RR / GTX / a million cabs and cop cars. No Chrysler starter or requested historical sound. 14 inch wheels on a 440 GTX, with bogus tires.....$300 whipped door emblems inside.

Shop classes aren't gone everywhere. My son took auto shop in high school. They learned a LOT, on actual cars in the shop garage, and disassembled/reassembled lawn mower engines to understand how they work. All kinds of automotive projects, even wheel balancing. It was an elective for him and he loved it. He even brought in his own 4Runner so the (very good, early 30s) teacher and the class could diagnose an issue. Awesome.

I was lucky enough to go to a school where we had shop classes. Even though I had a +90% average in math and the sciences, I made sure to take every one I could. I ended up doing mechanics, where we had to disassemble a non-functional go-kart engine, diagnose the problem, and reassemble it so that it worked (me and my partner were the first to get it working, but it blew up after running for 10 seconds hahahaha); carpentry, where we built a new 30-foot wall in our school, including metal frame, insulation, electrical, drywall, and paint; and craftsmanship, where we did a few small projects. Honestly some of the fondest memories I have of high school, and I ended up using a variety of those skills when I built my own guitar from scratch.

Teachers like Vince provide lifetime value in the lessons they teach their students. I'm from the days when they taught "Industrial Arts" in high school and I'm in my 60's now. I STILL use the skills I was taught by the I.A. teachers. It's sad to see education in the trades displaced by training to pass standardized tests today. I don't think we'll see the same value in these "new lessons" 40 or 50 years from now.

Years ago, I couldn't stay up to watch Jay on TV. I just fell asleep from work. I love cars. I love cars of the fifties and sixties and early seventies. It's just great to watch these on the video. Send them on the big screen t v, and i'm always enjoying it. I'm glad to see these shows. It's just so much fun to watch and listen to Jay speak to everybody. In a down the earth matter, it's just fun to watch all his shows. I hope he keeps going. The beauty is that this will be around for decades and decades and hundreds of years , I hope people will get to see what we were like and what we drove and how much fun we had. And even a few 1930s and 40s cars too. Jay does such a great job. It's just like me being there listening to him talk while i'm standing next to him.

These old-school shop teachers. Mine was Mr. Kohl, who was a retired Navy man who regaled us with stories of his service days, or talk about the good ol' boys who came before us. His enthusiasm and pride was infectious. I remember we bench-started a straight six that my partner and I rebuilt for him. It fired up right away, and he was so excited. We revved that thing so the whole school could hear it. Some of the guys in class were not the sharpest tools in the drawer, but he was an incredibly patient person.

God bless the owner of the GTX to get his autoshop teacher involved with the restoration. In 1976 through 1978 I was in autoshop two hours a day. Joe Mac, my auto teacher, was a big influence in my life; God rest his soul. I completely rebuilt my 68 Dodge SuperBee, motor and all. What a great experience and confidence builder. I do all the work on my 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T. The dealer charges $400+ to change out 16 spark plugs on the Hemi.

According to the Chilton's Manual the 1971 High Performance, 4barrel 440 was rated at 370 HP and had a 9.50:1 compression ratio, down from '70 when it was 9.70 for this engine. All the hi-po engines of 1969 were 10.00:1 with the Hemi at 10.25:1. When Jay stepped on it you can hear that this car lacks the crisp bark that the early hi-po 440 motors had. It is a beauty regardless.

In terms of gross ratings, you're correct. But Chrysler Corp published both gross and net ("as installed") figures in 1971. The 440 4 barrel GTX engine was officially rated at 370 Gross HP and 305 Net. Source: www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/mopar/71transit/71transit.html 305 Net HP in a 4,100 pound isn't much by today's standards.
