Our local PBS station plays old classic movies on Saturdays. No commercials. Saw mad,mad,mad,mad world again. All star actors. Sid Caesar, Buddy Hacket, Peter Falk [colombo] just to name a few. Lots of Mopars. Just to hear Ethel Merman's soothing voice again made it all worthwhile.
 
After watching the movie, I wondered what was the fastest muscle car from the 60's and 70's [besides the 427 AC Cobra]. Most muscle cars ran 13's or 14's. The only one that was faster than most and street legal ,I think, was something I never heard of. A 1963 Ford Galaxie lightweight. 12.1 seconds. Fiberglass body parts. 427 8 barrel. Factory cheater slicks.

We never stop learning. Just stop remembering!
 
If you limit your search to what was the quickest/fastest in 1963 (the year of that movie), Culpepper's (Spencer Tracy) 63 Dart is near the top.
