 Other then the tire companies with their Raised White Lettered Tires, Hurst was the only other non OEM company to have their name prominently displayed on their products that were installed on Detroit Muscle Cars

1969 Dodge Coronet R/T vs 1969 Plymouth GTX (Hardtop)   BASE PRICE HT: R/T = $3,425 GTX = $3,416 Both cars inc the 440/375hp Magnum engine with a choice of AT or MT and Bucket Seats. PRODUCTION NUMBERS: R/T = 6,755 GTX = 14,902 As you can see from the above, the GTX was a MUCH better seller than the R/T. More than twice the number of cars sold.

 The original buyer, the famous Briggs Cunnningham, ordered this car with white interior. The change was not made at the factory (all 515 left the factory with black interiors). It was made by the selling dealership.

 All 100 1964 Ford Thunderbolts were delivered to the selling dealerships with a single exhaust. The reason for this came from the NHRA, which required Stock and Super Stock cars to have a, "streel legal exhaust system." Each T-Bolt had a single 1.5-inch pipe running under the passenger side of the floorpan. A stock six-cylinder Fairlane straight-through muffler was positioned in the standard location beside the gas tank. At the track, the header caps were removed allowing the 427 to breathe freely. This was done for weight saving.

 So how close did Ford come to selling 427 SOHC Galaxies to the public? REAL close. They couldn't charge more than $1000 for the engine option. They had to make 100 of them. Ford could do that to get the 427 SOHC engine qualified for NASCAR. And then NASCAR threw Ford a "monkey wrench." They would give Ford the go ahead but there would be a weight penalty associated with the engine . . . 1 pound per cubic inch. That would mean their car would weigh 4,427 while everyone elses would be 4,000. That was the deal breaker.

 Only about 10% of all the 1970 AAR Cudas (2,724) had a V1X: Black (only color available) vinyl top.
