Not Ranked
I used to be a Chevy guy through and through, in 1963 I bought a split window sting ray with cermatalic brakes, fuel injection and racing suspension, it did not have the 42 gallon gas tank but it was like the first Z06 in every other way. I thought it was pretty fast until I ran against a guy with a Weber equipped 289 in a time trial at Hanford Speedway he kicked my A## badly. I then heard they were making a 427 version so that was it for me. I ordered my car in April of 1965 from Leslie Motors in Monterey California. I have been a Ford guy ever since and even went to work for them because of that car. Having a car in 1965 that would run in the low 12's in street trim was a big deal then because most muscle cars were in the 14's I raced lots of cars and motor cycles with great success, it was like shooting fish in a barrel.
