Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In 1970, Buick offered its potent Skylark GSX available with the Stage 1 455 cubic inch motor. Only 2 colors were offered by Buick for this car in 1970. What were they?

Answer: Apollo White & Saturn Yellow

Other colors were available from 1971 on. This car is an animal with the Stage One 455 motor. Ask any Hemi owner.

2. If I raced a 1970 Yenko "Deuce" through the quarter mile in 12.98 seconds, what kind of Chevrolet would I be driving?

Answer: Nova

LT-1 350 powered Nova/ Chevy II, hence "Deuce".

3. In 1968, Dodge needed a quick response to Plymouth's popular Road Runner "stripper" muscle car. Dodge fired back with the mid-year introduction of the...?

Answer: Super Bee

The Super Bee sold fairly well, but with a six month lead, Plymouth had already captured the public's imagination with the Road Runner.

Answer: Road & Track

Nothing under a 440 or Hemi available in the early R/T Dodge's.

Answer: 1965

1965. The only year a Corvette was factory optioned with a 396.
If you wanted a big block 'Vette from '66 onward, you had only 427's and the later 454's to choose from.

6. If I were to beat a Porsche 911/SC in a local autocross with my 1967 stage IV optioned Yenko Stinger, what kind of Chevrolet would I be driving?

Answer: Corvair

The Corvair is not a Muscle car per se, but if Don Yenko re-engineered it and it devlops 240 hp in a 2500lb. car, it's pretty close.

7. In 1969 you could order a Mustang Mach 1 from your favorite Ford dealership with a 428 SCJ motor. What does SCJ stand for?

Answer: Super Cobra Jet

Heavier connecting rods and forged pistons were just some of the major differences between the SCJ 428 and the CJ 428.

8. This Ford car, introduced mid-year in 1964, sold like wildfire and had the rest of the Detroit automakers scrambling to play catch up. A whole automobile category was named after this one car because of its huge impact. Name the original "pony car".

Answer: Ford Mustang

I know you got this one right.
Yeah, I hear you MOPAR guys, the Barracuda was first by a few weeks, but it wasn't the car that the rest of Detroit was trying to copy in sales and styling. Camaro was the first real contender in 1967.

Answer: Hurst SS AMX

Shirley "Drag-On-Lady" raced one with much success in 1969.

Answer: LS6 Chevelle SS

God Bless America!
