Awesome muscle cars in that era. I thank God everyday for my dream car, a 73 SD-455 Trans am that I had since I was 19 years old, and now I’m 62 and still own it. 🙏

In 1969 my Dad bought me a new Mustang 428 Cobra Jet Shaker Hood. The car was a monster. You literally could not floor it from a standing stop without burning rubber and fish tailing all over the place. You really had to know how to handle the car. In 1973 I returned it to my Dad where he sold it for a mere $3, 500. Wish I still had it.

I always loved the 1968-1971 cars, Olds 442, Chevelle, Corvette Stingray, Camaro's, The chargers, all of them were beautifully created

[allenallen]

I'll take that Boss 429 please!!!

I grew up in that era. Most wonderful time. I was into sports cars, like my Datsun 200. Dad had a 64-1/2 Plymouth Barracuda. Bare bones, no A/C, no radio but fast. Friend had a GTO, frighteningly fast. If I could go back to those days, I would buy a few of those cars off the showroom and hide them until 2020.

MCOTW good to have you back, you’ve been missed !

[thefettfan]

I wish I owned all ten cars featured! I really do!! Nice to see you guys and "MCofTW" back in action, you've been missed!!!

[MikeBMW]

Awesome, Kevin, great to have you back!
Certainly a list of the fastest day one cars of 1969 but I rarely saw those as the day two mods were always quickly installed. :)

Memories...I turned 18 in 1969...my first car was a ‘65 Comet with a straight 6 that I seem to recall was unable to make it to 60 mph.

Am from the Netherlands and i drove a golf gti 16v, now i dont drive anymore cause i have Ms, but since i watch these episodes, man i love those v8's . :-)

Dang, I miss those era of cars! I'm a die hard Mopar fan and am not surprised to see 5 out of 10 being Mopars! One of my favorites is the 67 Baracuda with the 340. With slightly higher gears I could beat almost any big blocks out on Woodward Ave, yes, THAT Woodward Ave in Royal Oak, Michigan.

[charlies.]

First of all, I'm glad you're back as it's been a while since you last uploaded. And thanks for putting this together. As a Mopar guy who loves Roadrunners and 426 Hemis, I couldn't be happier.
Meep-Meep!! 😎

[jameslee]

I definitely remember this well! Still have alot of those road test articles. Great stuff! Still a muscle car enthusiast today! Always great 👍🏁

69’ COPO ZL1 cast iron sleeved aluminum 427 block. 430 hp rating true rating excess of 500 hp. Factory stock 13.16 @110 quarters. (Auto Editors Consumer Guides not from time) Tuned and slicks mid 11s at roughly 120 quarters. (Street Muscle Magazine but not from time). Just because it wasn’t written about back then doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.

[XAPAN]

Dude you’ve been missing for a while...got me a little bit worried...😉

[Marco-figv]

Wow, all these cars on the list are beautiful! Those were some great times! I think it would be interesting to see another list with a slight change, all of them having the same gear ratio. Anyway I appreciate the time you took to make this. Great video, keep it up!

[rogerlee]

Glad to have you back!!! Been missing y'all big time!

I'm a Ford guy. And I can say that back in 69-71 Mopars had the best selection of muscle cars. Anything big block Mopar was deadly. Even there GTS darts were stout running machines. GM also had an array of cars to pick from. Ford on the other hand had a small handful. And Mercury only had a couple big block muscle cars. Fords handicap was shock towers. Most guys avoided the Fords because it was a major project to install a big block into those shock towered cars. The cars that did not have shock towers were big heavy aircraft carrier sized boats. So the big blocks in those cars was kinda cancelled out because of the weight of the cars. That was Fords biggest error in the street car wars. Most young people had low paying jobs back then. And when you consider the fact you could buy a 6 cylinder Camaro for next to nothing. And then buy a big block rat motor for $100 dollars. You just needed an engine hoist to build a fast street machine. No cutting or welding to fit the motor in the car. That was the main reason the Camaro became the most common hot rod in America. The Nova also became popular when in 1968 the Nova was factory built without shock towers like the earlier Nova's had. Overall though the AC Cobra kicked all there azz'es off the assembly line. If was never a factory Ford release. But Shelby made it Ford Powered. And thus became a Ford Powered rat and HEMI killer on the street and road course. But only a handful were ever built. And so it never really became something most every street racer ever worried about. Because chances are you would never run into one on the street to race. I enjoy muscle cars period. There all just bad azz for there own reasons.

All great cars, my favorite was my 69 GTX, 440 Magnum! It not only looked fast and the 150 speedometer showed its incredible top end. The thought of buying a muscle car for 3, 900. Reminds me why we say (the good old days). Thanks for the great video!

My dream car was/is a 69 Super Bee, 4-speed, 383 Magnum. Yeah, I bought it when I was 23 and we're still tearing up the roads 53 years later.
