We had an abandoned airport near Clio MI when I was coming up, we had scenes like this every weekend in the late 70's early 80's, I had a 70 Barracuda with the 440 Super Commando engine. I paid 2500 for that car believe it or not. The only way the three two barrels would run right was when they were wide open. Won many races, lost some too, and broke a lot of stuff. Great times. There was a fellow with a red Chevy II with a high winding small block that could beat just about anybody. Another guy had a Chevy Monza that he shoehorned a 383 stroker into. The cops shut us down about 1982, but before that they would come and watch, saying "Well, at least your not racing on the road" From there we took our action to Ubly raceway, about an hours drive north. God I wish I could go back.

Even if the "chivvy" was running an L88 and 4.88:1 Pontiac or Olds rear axle, it's probably weighing 2,900-3,000 lbs with the Lexan windows and a fiberglass trunk and nose. The Model A may be a few hundred pounds lighter depending on its interior and has what looks like a mechanically fuel injected 427. Three hundred bucks was more than an average week's pay, but the Model A owner probably figured he had the power-to-weight ratio in the bag.

@@Joetrout- That would have been a bit hard, since the tag line on American Graffiti was "Where were you in '62?" That and the 327 was only out a year at this point, meaning they were new engines, and the hot rodder would have had to be well-off to afford it. Milner didn't seem to have that much wealth. More likely it would have been a bored out 283 to either 292 or 301. Now those were big block killers, as the short stroke small block could rev into the stratosphere with the right cam. Now in reality, it was a '66 327 with a Super T-10 and a '57 Chevy rear end. Neither the engine nor the transmission were available in 1962.
