Lindemann's videos were done well into a model year and sometimes the following year (see the 1971 442 video done in 1972). Also lots of errors. He references the HurstOlds as having 7" rims,they were 6". Jack Watson says they plan to build 515. They planned to build 500,515 was the final build number. How could he have known that when he tested the prototype????.
Cool old video's none the less. And cheezy comments!!
A real "going jessee"?????
Agility of a bobcat???
More fun than a MOWMOW convention on a saturday night????

Haven't been to one so I cannot compare.

Hey, it said "Recorded 1970", so I call 'em like I see 'em. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

I have about 40 of these tests, and I plan on putting them out on YouTube soon. I have the W-30 test that Canuck referenced, as well as a whole slew of other Ford, Oldsmobile, Buick, Mopar, and Chevy tests. No Pontiacs for some reason. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Next up, I'll load the 69 Charger 500 Hemi test, 70 AMX, 69 GTX, 68 Shelby GT500KR, and a few other cool ones. Some of my favorites are the full-sized Buicks and Oldsmobiles. They go through the cones like a drunken elephant on roller skates. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Ok, I corrected the 1969 Mustang 428 Cobra Jet title. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

I just uploaded the 1971 Olds 442 W-30 convertible 4-speed test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcty12ZkOLU

More to come....

Thanxs for the great old clips. I remember as if it were yesterday when these beauties were brand new. What a fun time it was. I especially love the 1971 W-30 ragtop 4spd car. Pretty neat also seeing the 68 HO motoring through those pylons. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif Keep the clips coming.

I reloaded the 1969 Mustang 428 Cobra Jet road test, with the correct title.

I have a personal fondness for the boattail Buicks. Here's a 1972 Buick Riviera GS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8ZJ2zW9poI

Also added a test of a 1971 Torino GT 429. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYAVTlVnQyk
