Car and Track review of 1969 Chevy Impala.

For those sporting rose-coloured rear-view mirrors, this review of a 1969 Chevy Impala should make it clear just how horrible those cars of yesteryear really were. A great slice of wayback, Car and Track TV show was the Top Gear of its day... minus the Stig of course.

2bbl Rochester, bad cam, they did some ridiculous things to start addressing pollution.
A 750 cfm Holley double pumper (or two) or a Carter, better spring rate and some Koni firecrackers to dampen would have change things considerably. This was not a handling vehicle anyway. 396cid is still my favorite engine. I drove one that when stepped into on the rear bumper of a semi at 55mph would be at 110mph at the front bumper.

XKE E Type coupe, one of the sexiest autos ever. 246cid inline six would run. Incredible handling. Now neutered Fords with kitty on the hood. (Didn't get to see it. )
