I don't use Facebook, except to track down some one to prove a point.....
Impressive racing. The Mustang barely outran the Impala which is 700 lbs heavier. NOW everyone knows why the Impala is using those 4.56 gears.
4.56 was good when going over 100mph was scary and not recommended
The Stang was pulling away in the end
@@chaztitan6457 4.56 gears are good for getting a heavy tank off the starting line like this 4,400+ lb Impala.
@@chuckselvage3157 "Pulling away".........the race ends at the 1/4 mile. Now, look at the ET's for both cars. Of course the Impala isn't going to have top end speed with those 4.56 gears.......but it damn sure kept a car that outweighs that Mustang by 700 LBS right on it's ass in the 1/4 mile.
@@howabouthetruth2157 all I'm saying is the Mustang had a taller diff the Chev driver had a red hot go and the Chev won anyway because the Mustang ran the red light.Take the win champ.
Thanks for posting, My very first car I bought when I turned 16 back in 76 was a blue 67 Impala SS with a 396. Great car and fun times with a sofa for a back seat to boot for me and my girl friends.
I seriously died for the 4 speed edit in the impala. Amazing. I did the same thing in real life when I found (and bought on the spot) my 1966 factory 4 speed impala…lol
Great racing, hope the Impala isn’t hurt. Those 71 Mustangs were pretty fierce, the 351s being deadly for their size, with the 429 - well the results were obvious. Thanks so much for these, great racing, great humor. 🌮 🌮
🌮
Bad ass Impala...! Black with red interior & a 4 speed 427.....👍🏻🖤❤️🔥🏁
Chevys suck always have always will like a weed eater going down the track people that own Chevys just can’t afford a nice vehicle. lol 😂
@@donnievillers9112 That's why every ford guy puts a turbo LS in his car today....😂🤣
Yes, beautiful. Only thing left to wish for is a big port 427/425hp, but this 385hp ran quite well.
You can't fault the Mustang for the loss of the best 2 of 3, just the driver. The Impala is a nice car but it is obviously not nearly as fast as the Ford. For a better race let's get a Camaro or another kind of Pony car to pit it against. To me the Impala should stay in it's class and pick on a Galaxie or a Coronet or something more it's size and class of car. Of course then it would be running against some pretty awesome Fords and Mopars, or maybe even a Pontiac or Buick even. It's a shame it doesn't run against some of it's direct competitors of the same year and class. It would really be embarrassing for the Impala I'm afraid.
They pair cars at this race by closest qualifying times the previous day. Impala has ran a best 13.11 @ 106mph so it is in the correct class. 👍
Yes I think the Impala should have been matched up with a Delta 88 455 and 4 spd of the same body style and year... although the 455 was not available for 67... 68 Olds would have been a 455 .. and how about a 428 Pontiac.... of the same body and 4 speed...
@@Crashbboxx67 You are talking to someone who is 68 y/o and use to compete, I know how to race. You boys want to favor one make over another. Everybody has their favorite make but when I was racing a Ford and the Mopars started dominating I went and bought a Mopar because it was the thing to do even though I kept my favorite Ford.
@@TBullCajunbreadmaker not at all I love them all no favorites. But the Friday qualifying for Saturday pairs is the class rules. As well as a 3 tenth breakout. So if impala ran slower it would get a slower car. It has to earn it's time ranking on Friday. No one likes getting paired with a lighter faster car on a bad Friday. Cause Saurday is new air and temp..
I mean.. we could race a linebacker vs a wide receiver.... But that would be... Just as silly.
Last of the good looking Impala’s. U have to admit the Impala for its size and weight did a good job
It was geared too low. It needs a set of 4:10 gears.
Has been ran with 4:10 left rpm on the table at end of track.
I agree with you on the last best looking Impala.... also it was a good 👍 race actually..
Actually, the '68 SS427 is the last of them, but I do understand what you're saying.
Awesome race and, other than it being a coupe instead of a fastback, I love the Mustang. Not quite sure why anyone would ever buy a Mustang couple. Kind of like, why would anyone have your sister when your mom is available? AAAAnnnnyyywwwwaaayyy. as for the Chevy, it made it through 3 whole 1/4 mile races without a breakdown so, it was a special day. ;)
I like that Impala!
Last race Impala started smoking pretty good, start of an engine problem maybe.
He was smoking in race 2 also. 👍
@@bloodybones63 Bad valve seals and/or worn valve guides that are not replaceable. Typical Chevy.
Wow, a Mustang. They are as rare at the Factory Stock Drags as Cars and Zebra's mom in church🤣🤣🤣
Great race with two great cars! The Impala was smoking pretty badly near the finish line...those 4:56 gears are really revving that Big Block. Hope he didn't hurt the engine block, probably being a numbers matching car. Huge Kudos to him for bringing it out and going for it!
Looked like a possible spun bearing there?
@@gt-37guy6 White smoke, I'd guess a head gasket.
Impala was a beast but I think it took some damage looking at the smoke. Mustang ran good but seems like it should be a little faster with that combo. But it may be truly stock and not race prepped like most cars on here. Anyone know anything about it?
I have seen some of these guys really pushing the limits of factory appearing, hiding serious aftermarket internals, and all kinds of speedy tricks to make them fast. Seen a 69 corvette with over 600 wheel hp, and looked bone stock. Or a 700hp hemi road runner that launches on 4 inch wide redlines. I dont care if they keep it stock, or just make it look stock, anybody trying to run on those tiny little bias ply tires has my respect.
My first car was a 73 mustang coupe. They aren't the most attractive stock but mine was forest green and teal. It also had a 70s street brawler stance with traction bars, meats in the resr and little squaties in the front dressed in mag slots. 3 speed auto and a pinched out built 351 Windsor. Super sexy and I didn't loose very often.
H A HA HA! What? No air shocks?
@@bloodybones63 hahaha I was stuck in the 70s in the mid 90s. Even you would have to admit it was a pretty car. All the chevy guys I knew liked it too.
@@danhillman4523 no air shocks. Those were for people that couldn't afford lift kits for their pickups. 😁
That has got to be the nicest Impala SS ever, 427, 4 Speed, black with red interior equal outstanding!
Thanks for another great race.... I love these 60's 70's great cars !!!
I watch these videos, looking for a car just like my father-in-laws. A 1966 Caprice with 427, 4 spd, 4:56 rear and AC. Black over gold. Will keep watching!
Commentary straight up entertainment. Appreciate it.
It was nice of the Impala driver to fog the track for mosquitos while he was there.
Old cars leak at the worst times. Valve cover blew out after a 6700 shift. That's is the way it goes some times.
Maybe 4:11's in the Impala would have been better. That big block was revving pretty good. The left bank got smokier with each pass. The Impala far outclasses the Mustang in the looks department. This Mustang wins for rarity.
Impala had a valve cover leak that started after 1st pass. So no damages just smoke and a mess to clean up.
@@Crashbboxx67 Well then, it's a good thing they channeled most the oil thru the pipes..
Last good looking Impala
Definitely a nice car
@@CarsAndZebras can the grande beat a fastback mustang I seen grande take the left turn more easy than a fastback
@@CarsAndZebras also would love to see a 70-71 Torino against a 71 mustang
That Mustang is just getting going with those trap speeds
That Impala was making it happen for 4400 lbs! Surprised the mustang didn’t run high 12’s at that combo and weight.
Slightly deceptive. Mustang weight was car only.impala weight was with driver.
@@scottvincent7666 Try again. Car weight for both cars was with the driver.
Mustang was OK. Impala was more impressive with all that weight and no automatic. Much better looking, just my opinion.
Got to love that beautiful looking Impala
First and second in the Impala must feel like the space shuttle taking
That Impala broke something in the end cause it was smoking like a siv.
Bad valve seals and/or worn valve guides that are not replaceable. Typical Chevy.
DIdnt break, just had a leaky valve cover gasket
Is that grey/blue smoke coming out the Chevy? Uh oh....
That Chevy is sick. Not sure if it's a PCV problem or valve guides. I suppose it could be rings, but I doubt it. I am going with a crankcase ventilation probem. Wonder if they allow vac-u-pan?
Valve cover Gasket first pass all fixed now
The Impala appeared to be smoking near the end. I hope it is okay. These were still good races.
Someone needs to learn how to tree the other car. Sleeping or to fast.
Digging the Finish Line Replay!! Nice to have a view way down there!
This is why I don't understand why so many people insult Ford I think it's cuz they're jealous Chevy owners cuz really the Fords are faster in most of these races LOL
I totally agree with you I met some chevy guys and most of them are ford haters
I might be in the minority. But the 71'-73' stangs are my favorite. Not perfect but the most aggressive looking imo
Haha I remember when the kids did the pro stock look to them ,and You couldnt see the town out the back window until you were on the other side of it 😝
Blind spot big time javelin was really bad for that
I had a 73' stang with a Boss 302 when I was 15, drove it all over the country roads in rural Illinois before I even had a licence.
I've always Loved the 71 Boss 351 Mustang. It was a Big Block Eater. I definitely like the 71-73 Mustangs too, But gotta be a Mach 1, the Coupe and Convertibles just don't do nothing for me.
@@dannyarrowheadstalker3054 A real Boss 302 Engine ? They were 69 and 70 Only.
I know im not that quick with a stick shift, that guy got skills.
The 427 Impala shit the bed on the last pass. The 429 lives to fight another day!! Who is the real winner?
Just a blown out rocker cover gasket. Replace the gasket, clean the mess and rock on!
@@wagonmaster1974 that's possible but I don't know
Actually the mustang shit the bed with a red light. Impala knew it and backpedaled to avoid the smoke show from the valve cover leak. Ask me how I know! LOL
Clearly if they were both factory stock the Mustang would have won easily every time. Meaningful drag race comparisons of original muscle cars today is almost impossible because none of them outside of museums are not modified to some degree. You put a few $K into modifying any middle of the road muscle car from the sixties with blueprinting, a cam and headers and it's going to beat the fastest factory original cars.
What if they both had mods, Mustink boyeee? GTFOH….
Mine too 🤩 loved the 71 Mach 1 Boss 351
71 mustang is so beautiful
Luv those camera and sound shots near the end of the track. That ‘67 impresses me every time I watch it race and its got the low perf 427 as well
The impala ss had 456 rear gears with a 4speed virus mustang with 411 rear gears and an automatic transmission, believe it or not that a bigg difference so not evenly matched as you would think.
Not really. I've had 2.73, 3.55, 3.90, 4.10, 4.30, and 4.56,s all in the same car, same Rear, same Tire Size, Going from 4.56 to 4.11 really ain't that big of a difference, especially with each car having different Transmission types. Favoring the 4.56,s with the 4 speed, and the 4.11,s for the C-6, (Automatic).
The weight difference alone, made up for the Gearing difference, and then some.
The 71 mustang was ugly so was the 72 and the 73 and every one after that until 2005.
...and every Camaro from 72 until today is ugly...
Great video as always! Betty White?? 🤔.. Lol!! Hahaha.. Cool to see that match up.. and running low 13's. Love that Impala... Your jokes & humor is running 10.. oh's!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Always fun to watch 2nd and 3rd place races because #notmopars
lol
Boy, i must've missed this Race, Wow can't believe it, Another Ford WIN !!! Don't you Wish the Big Block Mopars could Win a Race, hopefully sometime soon, the years almost over, and they have Such a Horrible Win/Loss Record. Even the Big Block Chevys are doing WAY BETTER than the Big Mopars, i can't even believe i said that, But it True, and I'm really not a Chevrolet Fan.
Mopar Don't Go Far !!!
Excellent race that '71 is impressive
Chirp .. hahaha great race good vid kid!
That’s a beautiful Impala glad to see it back but sure hate to see it blowing so much blue smoke maybe it’s just running rich but I doubt it thanks for another great video.
Agree, a gorgeous example, however it's highly doubtful it's running 'fat'. 1st - 3rd round show a marked increase in smoke.
Blue smoke is oil. Running rich is fuel, and it burns a dirty brown/grey to blackish color. I noticed it too. He'll probably be tearing into his motor right after this event to figure out the problem.......because it shouldn't be doing that. Probably due for some new rings, but I could be wrong.
The oil pump may be pushing too much oil to the top end and filling up under the valve covers faster than it could drain back to the pan. The oil is going past the valve stem seals.
@@markg7030 Yeah, I was wondering if something like that could be happening too.
1st pass 6700 rpm shift blew out the left bank valve cover gasket at rear corner. No damages and all fixed now but no way to fix in-between runs. Just had a big mess to clean up..
Chevy is smoking out the rear. Something gonna give way.
Whatta you expect, it's a Chevy, the Engine probably about ready to Expire.
@@badass6.0powerstroke10 Now now children.
What a well matched race! Your puns were sharp and it was an all around good time. I don't know how it hits everyone else but I always felt Ford took their shot at making a Ford 69 Camaro. The 70 Mustang was them being sneaky, Mustang in front and rear but Camaro from the side. Then 71-73 came and it was full on Camaro time.... Wild.
Am I wrong to feel like the Ford big blocks didn't seem to find the full potential of their displacements?
When the stick shift was revealed on that Impala, DANG!
Well Wild Bill my 1971 mustang Mach 1 429 SCJ, ram air, 4-spd top loader, 4.11 Detroit Locker found it's full potential when we set the NHRA D/SA Stock Eliminator National Record at 10.86 @ 121.82 mph. The record was held by a Big Block Chevy Camaro @ 10.98 @ 129.34 mph. We could have moved the record even lower (car ran a 10.74 at the same dragstrip a week before the Division 2 Points race ) but then NHRA would have added more HP to the engine making the car heavier, so we short shifted and moved the record 12 hundredths . Just Sayin!!!
Woops the class was D/S not D/S Automatic, fat fingured the key board.
Wow, that Impala is pretty fast for it's weight. It looks so sweet to.
I have had a big mustang enthusiast tell me a 71 Boss 351 could take down a 69 Boss 429 if they have the same gearing and tires.....??🤔
In stock form, The Boss 351 could take on a Boss 429. But it didn’t take a lot to turn the Boss 429 into an animal with headers and some other mods that would clean the clock of a Boss 351. Love both cars though and that 351 acted more like a car with 100 more cubes.
I definitely agree with that. The 71 Boss 351 to me is the Only Real Boss, not the 302 or 429, I'd take the 71 Boss 351 Mustang, hands down. They were Big Block Eaters, 383,s and 396,s couldn't keep up.
Both cars are nice, I like the Stang more. Even if it is a coupe.
A family friend had a Impala w/ a 427 in it. back in the day. The motor was ok , but Frank wanted faster than other Impala's. The plan was to take a Vette 427 & swap motors. He had a buddy with a used car lot who bought & sold Vettes. So they worked out a deal on the swap, Frank was quite happy about it & the car was definitely quicker . The dealer didn't care that the Vette was a bit of a dog . So whoever bought the Corvette ended up with a 427 not so fast car.
R.I.P. Frank
It sounds like your the commentator on the microphone at the strip! Anybody else notice!?
You might be on to something . . .
@@bman99ss if you watch other pure stock drags its definitely him!!!!
My 69 Mach 1 is a lot better looking than this 71. But it,s ok Not ugly, But I also owned a 65 427 super sport 2 speed, That did 127 in quarter. But was not stock.Big cars
Objective reporting with no bias. ..not Take your shallow win! Go Ford..
Chocolate, Robbie, Miller. With that out of the way, this Mustang fanboy will take that 427 Impala every day of the week.
I’m noticing the right lane might be faster. Just saying.
I’ll take the Chevy every day, it’s got a big back seat for after racing 😎
does anyone know anything or have information of a 1972 chevrolet bel air two door coupe SS 454 ???
and now the 67 impala with an L88 427 4 speed manual with bucketseats and magnum 500 wheels please !!!
Why are you running a Ford pony against a full size? A 67 Camaro with that motor would have beat the Mustang 3 for 3!
0:22
Can we get some vajayjay candles and a little more flatulence next time ?
Just don't get the 2 close together. 😁
I remember being in dealership trying to get my dad to buy the Impala with 427 on the showroom floor. Dad talked to salesman then I asked we getting it ? My dad told me a life lesson, never buy car that's on showroom floor if you want to have any money leftover in your pockets ! Dam, wish he had made an exception ! Impala looked hurt on 3rd round 😢
Driver saw the red light and lifted mid-track cause of the oil leak.
Does anyone compete with a Chevy Biscayne with the drag pack option? 425hp 396 and 4 speed in '65.
Goodday C & Z,
What a great race, battle of the heavy weights. The Ford was a CJ. I wonder if it was a SCJ it would of made a difference, then again the SCJ has the drag race arse end gearing this Mustang had.
Love my full size muscle cars & Chevy build dome absolute stunners. My fav is the 1965 Chevy Impala SS with the very rare 396 L72 / 425 HP, 4 speed.
It was great that you mentioned the L36.
Still funny as always but good to see full size cutting the mustard.
Hope the Impala is well abit smoking towards the end possible wheel spin.

Great vid! Thanks CZ!!
The smoke out of the Impala was getting worse with each run. Looks like some rings or valve guide seals are due for replacement.
1 tenth slower and heavy as a full sized truck Id say that was impressive
Low 13s are still pretty respectable on the st.
I am a Chevy guy but big fat respect to the mustang! And the mustang reaction the 2nd round was not as good
I always thought those mustangs were pretty crappy looking. Definitely not the best.
I'd still rather have a Impala or a Chevelle.
power to weight ratio got impala! 700 LB more weight and extra 10HP is not gonna keep you ahead at end!
Damn, that stang was fast. Getting gapped in the second race and still nearly ran down the Impala. As always two (well, 1 beauty) beautiful quick cars and still digging the finish line cam noises.
Driver error there.
takes a lot of skill to launch a low geared Impy with a stick and pencil thin tires
Good show!
That Impala is a ridge running 🌽 lick-her hauling machine with that big trunk.
Had that Impala lost that extra 800 pounds, it would have cooked that stang.
The Chevy's pushing some oil smoke thru the traps. Time for a rebuild.
Very good race. These old school muscle cars are very impressive
Mustang WAS ALLOVER THAT CHEVY! AND LOTS OF SMOKE FROM THE G M TANK!
The Ford was the better car. The Heavy Chevy was impressive, though.
I'm Mopar but these cars are great! Great racing, too!
Blue smoke on the Impala every time . . . sick/loose/worn out engine ?
The way the Impala was smoking at the top end, the motor was racing hurt.
Such a close race. I love your channel. Great work.
It looks like a giant Capri! Ugh!
14 that's less than the number of 70 hemi cuda convertibles
SS Impala blowing oil smoke on the top end. No surprise !
And still pulling 13 sec ET’s. You can’t do that in your Prius😆
@@Lucille69caddy I don't own a Prius. Only Fords in this stable.
@@Lucille69caddy One of my Fords is a '70 Torino wagon that would eat that '67 SS Impala for lunch. So would my '67 Fairlane GT. Hell, my '69 Boss 302 Mustang would beat either of these two cars.
@@sergeantmasson3669 Owner posted a valve cover gasket was leaking. Everyone on the internet is faster than the worlds!
The 70s fastback looks better than the coupe (duh)
Rather than listing the bare weather stats you should just tell us the density altitude.
That impala must be burning oil. A little smoke out the back.
I have a 429 Automatic in a 72 Ford LTD body. My husband was working on. He passed 9/29/20
Our condolences . . .
The Impala might be hurtin with the smoke on the top end ...
4:56 gears are such a joke on those tires. My stock 1979 f150 with 460, and 2:75 gears, ran 12.98 at 111 mile per hour. I ran 1st and second on the c6 tranny... people were asking me how I got a 2 speed power glide behind that 460. They called me a liar when I said 2:75 gears and a c-6. They actually jacked my truck up and rotated the tires and counted the driveshaft revolutions.. next time out I really blew their minds. I burned forward an extra 100 foot and then did a burnout in reverse. She ran 73 in low, 122 in second and warp 7 in high.. everyone said hi could trim a 1/2 second off with 3:75 gears. I borrowed a 375 chunk from a buddy and she ran a 13.98 every pass. Put the 2.73 back in it and she ran 12.98. I had racing buddies who were baffled. I only ran the truck that night cause my 69 super cobra jet torino blew a ujoint. It started a huge turning point on low gears and big blocks.
Looks like the chevy was blowing up.......
4:30 that f*ck you killed me 🤣🤣🤣
OLD CHEVY WAS SMOKING BAD AT THE FINISH LOL...
REALLY DON'T THINK THESE CARS ARE EVENLY MATCHED ...
4.56 Chevy diff'l is advantage
Basic reason high final gear ratio m cycles are quick -- instant mechanical advantage. Ride and decide.
Still, Ford wins -- higher trap.
It seems there faster in the left lane. It could be tire bite better on that side.
I'm actually kind of curious about something. If anyone cares to inform/enlighten me that'd be great, which one of these cars as far as blindspots go were more tedious to drive? Early 2nd gen Camaro's or the 71'-73' Mustangs?
