Re: IML: Imperial speed trials

["David Barker" <dbarker534@xxxxxxx>]

When I was in high school, my parents had a '69 New Yorker 2dr hdtp. Seems 
to me, at a glance, it appeared to look just like an Imperial except the 
front end and back end were a little different. It was a 440 car. I used to 
bury the needle at will on that thing. I don't know what the weight 
difference would be, but anyway, I don't doubt I was doing in excess of 
130mph because burying the needle was pretty effortless and there was gas 
pedal left. Top end was the only way I could catch a particular hopped up 
383 orange 69 Charger. I guess I would expect that kind of speed out of the 
67. If I felt the need to find out...of course. :-)
