I've been getting paid to repair cars since age 13. Started off with lawnmower engines at age 10. Worked in garages sweeping and cleaning to learn more. I spent almost two years just building engines and I have drag raced and know enough that when a car gets sideways that it it caused by the tires not having equal pressure. Also making sure your rear end is putting the the same power to both wheels Then try to make the car balanced with the driver in it on all four wheels . I'm 58 now going through stage 4 cancer for the second time. Just want to pass on what I've learned. Thanks, Don Snow

[@tonywood5295]

Yeah. Amen to that. A trip down memory lane for me - back in the early 90s I was a member of an outlaw V8 car club (The Rebels) that carried on like this in Wellington, NZ. None of the hot clubs would even speak to us and the monthly club runs were little more than semi-organised mayhem. A man could choke to death on the tire smoke if he wasn't careful. We had a lot of fun for a few years, then the landlord sold the clubrooms to a property developer in 1993 and it all sort of petered out after that. And I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the 4 minute mark - Quite a few members ended up in a ditch like that after putting on a show for the others (me included).

[@tonywood5295]

And I still have the car I used to drive then - a 64 Ozzie Falcon hardtop. Although it's now had a ground up rebuild at mind warping cost and the only part of the drag strip she ever sees now is the car park.

[@marine4lyfe85]

This is my generation. 52 now, graduated high school in 1984. I'm guessing that's about when this was filmed. You could buy a lot of these cars for $1000 to $2000 at the time.

So cool. Thanks for the video. I remember buying a 1970 Buick Gran Sport 455 in 1983 for about $400 or so. And it wasn't in bad shape at all. Torque monster. Muscle cars just weren't worth much back then. I also used to have a bunch of Mopar parts - 340 six pak intake and carbs, linkage, with the air cleaner, - sold that for $150 and was happy. 4 speed transmissions, some engines, pistol grip shifters, etc - nobody cared back then. Just used cars and used parts. I guess that's why all the muscle car stuff is rare and expensive now. This is just a cool old video - hope everybody enjoys it.

[@johnjackson8401]

That 1970 Buick Gran Sport 455 was very special. 1970 was the last production year in GM for high compression, premium gas engines outside of police package . In 1971 and beyond GM had blanket low compression to accommodate 87 octane. The drop in HP and especially torque was quite noticeable.

This video is so awesome! That's me in 77-80 with my 70 SS 396 Chevelle and 340 4spd Dart! Damn that was great times!

[@reallybadaim118]

I remember days in the 70s just like this. Everyone had long hair. They all wore mechanics shirts and turned a few wrenches, pumped gas or worked at an auto parts store. Cared about nothing other than more speed. No one had cell phones then. Everyone got along. Watching this brings back some great memories. It's very likely all these awesome cars are crushed and gone forever. Hopefully not.

[@paulne1514]

Yes, a lot were crushed. I worked at junk and scrap yards. Never crushed a 69 charger! But did all the others except the 3 wheeler. Boss wouldn’t let us save any!

[@fordcobraone]

This about 1986. It was a BLAST! I loved it and had a 69 Charger R/T 440 magnum during this Golden Age. Shout out to all my Rock Mtn Rd. racing peeps near Stone Mountain Georgia!

That was an absolutely INCREDIBLE video!!!!!!! Who would have thought to bring a movie cameras to something like that in the first place? Thank God they did! In 1986 I had a '67 4-4-2 convertible until a drunk driver crashed into me. I replaced it with a '70 LS6 Chevelle. I had a heck of a lot of fun in that car, but nothing like what's shown in this video. There was just no place around for those kind of shenanigans. I would love to buy an uncompressed copy of this from you. If that's possible, let me know. Thanks for sharing a fantastic piece of history!

Brother bought a mint '67 289 'Stang. Automatic. Red w/black vinyl top. This was 1971 or 1972. Paid $1000 for it. A year or so later he traded it straight up for a kind of beater '67 GTX, 440/4 speed/4:10. Ex-drag car. Fucker was scary fast! Had Marco fenderwell headers and who knows what was done to the engine innards. Dad was not a happy camper with the trade. Brother sold it. I know why you dig toe "440", dude! Torque!

[@DodgeChargerRT1971]

At least the two tires that gave their lives at the same time on the 1969 Charger R/T went out with style. Not so much with all the one wheel deal ones on most the other cars. Ma' Mopar liked to hand out big block power and limited slip differentials like candy:) Even my old Travco motorhome has a Sure-grip diff!

We had a kid in the late 80s whose rich Dad gave him a pretty much perfect '66 396 SS Chevelle, at age 16... you can guess what happened to the car, completely destroyed within weeks. (Slid sideways off a curve in the road into a lightly forested boggy area and flipped a half dozen times landing upside down in the water.) The dumb kid was lucky to be alive. He also never learned, later he crashed his Mom's '69 Charger RT but much less dramatically, he came over a hill going too fast and traffic in front of him was stopped, he slammed into the back of a pickup. Saw him in a '69 El Camino SS later, no idea if that one survived. 😆

Why are there.not videos like this from all over we did this in high school every week just show up to see who was the boss.

You could buy an old car that had been sitting tune it up swap it off for some profit quick and by more speed parts to make your keeper car faster and back to town too drum up a race. It was a glorious time. We had big blocks tuned fast the cops had junk when they hit the blues just laugh and grab a lower gear. It felt a lot like freedom.
