One thing they all had in common was every thing in the engine compartment was where it was supposed to be. Not removing the wheel well to get to the battery was a nice feature.

My very first ride was being cradled in my mothers arms in the passenger seat of a 64' GTO. Dad had sold that car before my earliest memories, but he took me for rides in other fast stuff later in life. Good times!!!

[georgeandronica]

why does a 426s plymouth run 15.2 while a dodge polara with the same motor run 13.7? a gto at 13.1? Bobcat maybe. but not stock, the thunderbolt was not a street car so it shouldn't be on this list. that's like a plymouth max wedge or hemi for 64. what about the chevy 409? fuelie corvette? this is full of errors

My late friend had a 442 with a Chevy LS6 454 . He said it would do the quarter in 11.2 seconds . His son has it . What a monster hot rod .

That’s great. I’ve only read about the bobcat gto’s. I’ve always loved the 64’s. I remember in 1965 when I was 17, the local Pontiac dealer was about 5 blocks from my house. I always made it a point to check out all the dealers lots every week. One day in 1965, I saw the prettiest gto on the Pontiac lot. It was a 2 door hard top in a burgundy color with a black interior. It had the 389 with 4 speed. I was working at McDonald’s at the time and in the 12th grade. They wanted 1700 dollars at the time. I knew I would graduate soon and had the draft hanging over me. That car was only a year old and was perfect all the way around. I knew I would be y the coolest guy in school because no one in the school had one. When I graduated in June 1966 I got my draft notice about 3 weeks after that. Just shows you how disruptive the draft was in those days. Never could plan on anything.

If you have the Thunderbolt Fords on the list than you need to have the 426 Hemi cars on the list. Major oversight!

[nativestacker]

This is a good video, there were 2 cars in this line-up that were not production cars but rather special order, the Thunderbolt and the Galaxie 427 Q code . Thank you for the video .

[NHGOAT]

Thunderbolt was a flat-out drag car... not found on the street

[Boblib]

My dad had (he's since passed and my mom still has) a 64 R code 1964 Ford Custom, which is a stripped down bare basic no frills Galaxie. He bought it in 1969 from his brother and it was his drag car for years. He's said that his best ETs were 12.90s with open headers and 7" slicks....and that was as fast as he wanted to go.

[artbrookey]

No '64 Ford, or any factory muscle car of any king would come near an 11 second 1/4 mile time..completely stock from the factory that is

[dmk]

Tommy James & The Shondells had a B-side titled "THUNDERBOLT" --- perfect musical score for #1

[learjet]

Tire technology coudn't handle the power most of these had. I remember seeing them smoke tires halfway thru 2nd gear and beyond!

[ericwilson]

The Pontiac Grand Prix was the adults version of the GTO

[idontcare]

Gotta call B.S. on this video. Mustangs were not faster than Street Wedge cars, and why was the Max Wedge not even mentioned? Many facts and faster cars were left out.

13.1 seconds from a stock tri-power 64 gto? That C&D test used a cheater car, with a Roya Bobcat tuned 421, and setup with gears, and slicks.

Back in the mid sixties, no one in my crowd would be caught in a Polara or even any Pontiac but a GTO. I did love my '63 Galaxie 500XL with a 406 Tri Power as well as my '64 Fury. The Ford, while for all intent was "officially" stock, had the '64 "K" cam and lightened lifters and the distributor set up with 427 internals and Sun bench adjusted to the 427 specs. Best time before the cam change was in the low 14s then afterwards, 13.22 and 105. There was a Thunderbolts locally street driven - impressive car and rattled windows. My Fury - sob! Bought as a family car with a 318. Gutless but 20mpg which helped my pretty puny paycheck at the time. My guess is that my current F150 w/ 400Hp 3.5 would run pretty close to most of those sixties cars but for sure doesn't have the style points of that era

[jshishe]

GM considers the corvette a sports car. So do most car publications and other car manufacturers. Sports cars are two door two seaters. Made for high speed courses. While muscle cars are straight line. There’s more to the answer. But that’s a brief summary.

[gary]

It is now well known that the Car and Driver '64 GTO test car had a 421, rather than a 389.

[JamesJones-bdjg]

It was common knowledge that Pontiac had slipped a 421 into the gto for faster drag strip times and produced more sales.

Another to add: In 1998 I had a '92 Volkswagen Corrado SLC. I had a cold air intake and a chip on the engine, and I managed a 14.98 @ 93.25 quarter mile. When I did this, in the lane next to me was a stock '70 Corvette convertible with a manual transmission; I gapped this guy by two car lengths with a V6 front wheel drive hatchback import with minimal mods!

Then one night I was online in the chatrooms on AOL and this guy wanted to race my VR6 Corrado, so I showed. Turns out I knew him from a car club, but now he had an Acura Integra Type R; We met up and raced and I bobbled the launch, but by the quarter mile mark I was passing him. I have had Type R people argue with me about that, but the results are solid; Their four cylinders simply cannot break the 15 second barrier and my VR6 could. And that narrow V6 engine ate Chever-Lay V8's just as happily as it ate Honda four cylinders!
