In its day, there was a white '64 Comet Cyclone 271hp on the streets of Little Rock with all kinds of "Cobra" add-ons - 2x4s, Cobra valve covers, Cobra air cleaner, big cam, headers. . . . It was pretty quick and schooled many of the GM and MoPar muscle cars. One of the better street races I remember was a face-off between that car and a four-door '58 BelAir black-and-white ex-police car that was equipped with a basic 365hp 327 4-speed out of a Corvette. The Chevy was the teacher that night, showing what a 4.56 gear will do to move a barge.
