"Actual Match Race" 1969 440 'Cuda vs 1973 Firebird Formula 'SD-455'

To answer most of these match race ponderings, you guys need to come to the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Races held in Michigan in mid-September. See them in real life instead of just "what-if" on paper. All of these match-ups occur and some pretty strange ones as well. This year we had a 1963 Max Wedge 4 speed Belvedere running against a 1963 Studebaker Daytona Lark R2 4 speed with a Paxton charged 289. This pair ran in the high 12's. 1970 Hemi Cuda vs. a original owner 1967 Hemi Coronet R/T. Both running high 11's. As for your favorite A-body.....my 340/275 GTS was matched up against a 1969 SS 396/375 Camaro. Both qualified at 13.23. The 396 got the better of the 340 at the top end on two of the three rounds.

The guy who this photo album belongs to is a 1969 Chevelle SS enthusiast so a lot of his photos are slanted towards that particular bow tie.
