So just how good was the A-Body back in its day?

I own some B bodies but have always had a thing for A bodies. I'm on my third big window Barracuda and have owned two Darts. My son and I were at a cruise night in my '69 Dart 340 Swinger where they had a burn out box. We didn't want to thrash our car but decided to do one big smokey for kicks. As we were approaching the box my son heard someone say, "Oh, it's only a Dart." Then someone else said, "Yeah, but listen to it rumply-rump!" We got a standing ovation.

Here are some great episodes of American Musclecar:

Pay attention at 10:10 into the show.

There is also a great episode about Dusters and Demons called "Economy Movers" that isn't on YouTube but can be found on iTunes that talks about them being giant killers.
