Re: IML: Imperial speed trials

When I hear/read something like this...
"I was doing in excess of 130mph"
...all I can think of is, "With drum brakes and bias ply tires!"

Glad you're one of the survivors Dave!  :-)

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. :-)
