Cruised across Alligator Alley doing 120+ in a '64 Fury with 318. Very foolish but fun at the time.

Too funny,that's the same road I did my 150 on,from Naples to Ft. Lauderdale !! We were headed over to Tree Tops Park for the Fla Mopar Nationals !!Me,a Rumble Bee, an SRT8 Charger and a Viper !!:cheers::cheers:
 
ive been 155MPH on a STOCK frontend with the factory bushings, balljoints, idler, etc with 15" rallys and bfg radials. in my dads 71 demon 15 yrs ago.
 
143 mph and spookie it was dead straigt 65 model std f end 3550 lbs had 90/10 s thats it
 
143 is what I could get on the 150 mph speedo of my 70 340 Duster at 6000 RPM years ago but I still had more pedal but enough brains even at 16 to 18 years old that bad things would happen if I went any further.
 
my old '68 dart with a 340 had a rally speedo went to 120 at about 5 o'clock on the dial, i had the pointer back over at about 7 o'clock so i'm guessing 140ish

p.s. that was with a quadrajet carb lol
 
135 In a brand new 1971 Duster 340 4spd w/3.23 rear end while blowing the doors off of a 1967 SS396 Chevelle on I-65 north around Bowling Green KY. in April of 1971, then 131 in a 1972 Duster w/a built 440 in a 1/4 mile .
 
speedo said 85 in my scamp on 106/107, completely stock front end, 225/6, 7 1/4 gears unknown. not sure if the speedo is right though, never had it checked. i didnt go any further, though i think it could, cause the front end rides high right now and it started to lift a bit....scary. once i get the suspension dialed in well have to see if it can go better ;)
 
Needle was bouncing on alternator in my 71 gran coupe,so 140 or so
 
9.93 @ 134...

150+ MPH 69 Charger 383/727 323 gears. Stupidest thing I have ever done. It was in San Diego on Miramar Road racing a 396 Impala in the Fog, Yes I said Fog! I was 16 Years old in 1983. I still get the heebie jeebies thinking back on that day.

~90 before I touched anything on the dart, worn/missing bushings, collapsed shocks, OLD tires, lots of steering wheel play.....talk about scary!

I have pined the 150 speedometer in my 440-6 superbird on ocassion.....and it was'nt breathin hard yet!
 
Speedo pegged 120+ for 2+ hours, on I-70 east bound through Nebraska. Started around midnight. Cut off 2 hours of drive time from CO to MI. BTW, 72 Demon 400/727, std. /6 front end.......scary yes, fun, ABSOLUTELY!!
