Re: the best 1960 stock elim. car
I raced Fords in the mid 60's but I have to admit the 55 - 57 Chevys dominated a lot of classes. They were plentiful, cheap to build, and fairly easy to maintain. I finally gave in and built a 57 Chevy 4dr wagon with a 265 2bl and sometimes won my class locally. I gave $15 for the body and rebuilt a 265 someone gave me. Probably did not have $400 in the whole car including headers and gears. My tow car was a 57 Sedan Delivery.

Today that motor is factored at 287 hp in stock and 300 hp in ss. The 327/275 is actually factored higher than that. Go figure. |

Ahhh, for the good old days when you could build a competitive car from parts that you brought home from the local junkyard. In answer to the question, I'd have to say 57 Chevy. Lots of body styles and lots of engine combos. |
Re: the best 1960 stock elim. car
I'd love to comment but I'm not sure to what.
Is this thread about 1960 cars? ..about cars raced in the 60's? ..about 60-69 year cars? ..favorite from one of the above? ..most successful from above? Vic? Somebody? |
Re: the best 1960 stock elim. car
I can't tell you the best but I can tell you what I liked.
From the cars raced in the 1960's, I liked the junior stockers with the Monster Mash car at the top of the heap. From the 60's models it would be Grumpy's Chevy II. Pete |
