When I was in high school a guy I knew and graduated a year ahead of me brought a 70 RAIV Judge into the auto shop at my high school for a tune up. Four speed with 3.90 gears, pretty nasty in stock form. In a small county in Southeastern Ohio with a population of around 22,000 there where several fast cars around. For quite awhile there was a 65 Hemi Belvedere running around, a 70 440-six pack four speed Road Runner convertible, a 67 lightweight Fairlane with a Holman-Moody 427 Tunnel Port, a 69 Talladega, a 70 383 four speed Super Bee, my 69 Cyclone CJ, and the baddest car was a 66 Chevelle SS396, looked stock with a four speed and 4.88's, ran 11.80's through the mufflers with stock manifolds. Also a couple of 427 Corvettes, a couple of 69 Z28's. Wasn't many Pontiac's but alot of Mopars and Chevys plus a few street rods.
