Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???
My Stepdad had a 62 Classic with a 3 on the tree and o/d. I was too young then to care about gas mileage but I bet it got high 20's on the highway. He later bought a 67 Ambassador with a 232/auto. It had manual steering and brakes but beautiful dark brown paint called "Stallion Brown". My sister's second car was a 68 Javelin. Red/white stripe. A real sharp car. I took it to Prom in 69. Wish I had pics of that.
