I used to correct people about cars all the time. But now I just enjoy listening to people's part-truth, part-bullshit stories. We don't have a lot of 'oral tradition' culture anymore and this is one of the last vestiges.
The ball-stud Hemi was very real but was also never released to the public. I'm not aware that any GT500s had unique rear windows? I know about the '65 GT350R plexiglass one with the dip in it for heat ventilation.When the government pays, the government controls.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

And if you want to build a racecar you need to look for one of those engines.
They had cars back then that would run in the 12s, with that kind of power advertised vs what modifications they could have, I would guess a 300hp high revving 289/302 would easily get into the 12s. They could get a lot further with compression with the leaded gas.
Just a thought.
I know the type though, they are the Type that learn from books and get confused when reciting what they've read.
