I had a Coronet 440. It had the 383 with 2bl carb and not the 440 Magnum as the RT. It was quick, but not really fast. But it rode like a Cadillac.
It looked like this but it had a stock looking hood.....
I loved that year

Never officially timed it!
Loved the look of those and the Super Bee's
When I was in HS, there were maybe 3 trucks in the whole parking lot.
2 had gun racks.
Some El Camino's

Some of those 340 cars were fast as shit.
Got surprised more than once by one.

This car I never officially saw while at high school. But the year after.
1974 Vette with one of the last big blocks put in a Vette. The one in town was identical to this, 454, tan interior, etc. It was sitting on display in a dealer showroom. It had been sold to a local logging contractor. Can't recall the price. But he bought it and put it in his basement. Told his son (who was 1 year younger than me) that if he graduated from med school, the car was his.
Over the 6 or so years it took, the car was waxed so much it couldn't keep a blanket on it, it would just slip off. The son did get it and when he took ownership it had 150 miles on it. Mostly from photo shoots.
