Someplace around here I've got the Car & Driver magazine from 66 or 67 when they did a comparison test of the latest supercars - which is what they were being called. Musclecars, to my mind, didn't start getting popular until the 80s.

Anyhow, the Ford entries arrived on the back of a Holman and Moody transporter and C&D wouldn't accept them. That's what they got for not playing games as I'm sure most of the rest of the test cars had also had that "special" treatment.

And while Jim Wangers has never admitted it, a whole bunch of people are convinced that the original GTO sent around to the magazines had a 421 between the front fenders.
