Of course my 50 yr. [1/2 Century] old, 4,500 lb., 1967 "Luxo-Muscle-Car" Wildcat is slow compared others....
However - This land-yacht-beast with power everything, AC and comfortable seating for six can do 0 to 60 in in just under 6 seconds... with 1/8 tank gas and spare tire removed from tank. Also, acceleration in passing gear from 50 to 75 mph is impressive while she keeps roaring ever more powerfully to and including past 100 + mph.
As to where I take my old Cat baby through her paces: We Live in the
Country! There is a nearly two mile mile straight stretch of really good condition two lane pavement that is just three minutes from our house. We most often drive on it to get to home or when leaving our area. Often there is not one vehicle in sight. Matter of fact, for the purpose of street rod races, there is a designated 1/4 mile marker and 1 mile marker on that straight, level, good condition stretch of road. Like I said - "We Live in the
Country!"
We do greatly enjoy our 50 yr. [1/2 Century] old, 4,500 lb., 1967 "Luxo-Muscle-Car" Wildcat!! Often "Sunday Drives" are taken. Although others exist... There are none others we've seen on the road since purchasing her in 1998. She's a Very recognizable "Class Act Automobile"!
