429 Torino such an awesome car but I wonder what the punishment for a ticket at 180 looks like... I had a friend who got pulled over at 178 in a fancy Mclaren mp4 and he was looking at a $3k fine. Plus the trunk full of shine.
Yeah I got in trouble for being parked in a parking lot after dark and somehow that escalated into me being told that my car was no longer street legal due to my cold air intake until I took it to a state certified mechanic who would inspect my car, scan ecu for tunes, and then test my exhaust for noise compliance. Whole process took about 6 months and I guess I didn't learn anything because now I have longtubes and aftermarket cats. Thats what I get for living in California lol.Back then it wasn't too horrible but hes gonna take a beating on the moonshine. You know you can't cut the government out.. lol.
I got dinged for " display of speed, excessive accélération, careless driving etc etc " back in high school.
Now they throw you in jail and take your car.. thanks, riceburners
Though before sideshows in public intersections became so popular we didn't have this problem so much.Yeah I got in trouble for being parked in a parking lot after dark and somehow that escalated into me being told that my car was no longer street legal due to my cold air intake until I took it to a state certified mechanic who would inspect my car, scan ecu for tunes, and then test my exhaust for noise compliance.

They were doing a lot of parts swapping back then, what I get from the story, is that it was an actual NASCAR legit Torino (stock was a lot "stocker" back then) there was also ARCA, USAC and other racing organizations.. so who really knows? The 428 never made it into NASCAR but the side oiler 427 was the mainstay, I'm not sure they ever allowed the 429 (the actual semi hemi 429) because they had outlawed the Mopar hemi a few years before.One thing , that's not a 429 cj torino. 70 429 cj came in torino that's looks like a 68 torino. nascar was still using 427??? Or 428 cj? May be a early nascar B9 er ? Great story tx
