Just how quick were the 273 Commando's in the Quarter-Mile.

Oh Well... I hear that a lot... But, So What... I like MY 273 4bbl's... I have had two... First One was my 1965 Dart GT Charger 273 w/4speed... BRAND NEW out of Brads Motors Fall River MASS.
Got it the same day the 65 model year hit the Show Rooms (White with Red interior) And it was QUICK, for a 273... Made a lot of NEW Proud Mustang Owners fear Darts that sported the Single LARGE Black Exposed Resonator Tip (early ones did not have the stainless tip)... And the Sound that came from it !!!

My 2nd 273 4bbl was a Commando "S" Barracuda w/4speed I purchased in 1973 for $400.00 from the original owner... I thought about putting a 340 in it... but the 273 has endured and it Surprises many Peeps when they hear it or see it launch... Keeping in mind, it's a 273 CID!!!!!!!!!!!

I for one like the 60's... And I'm proud to show my 65 Cuda... Even if my car and "I" belong in a museum!!! (I LIKE This THREAD):blob:

What I truly like about this hobby is you can do it your way, with your time, and your money. Anybody that wants to "shame" you for not building the motor they think is a bully. I like all small block mopars. Work with what you want, it's yours. I've probably personally owned between 25-30 318's. I've also owned 340's, 360's, and 273.
