Even with 2.76s and 28" tall G70x15s, that calculates to 5600+ rpm. Do you really believe a 440 magnum will still pull 1000-1200 rpm PAST the power peak, against probably 300 horsepower worth of Aero drag (not to mention rolling friction, etc.). Sorry, I sure don't. But then I'm very skeptical of ALL anecdotal high speel stories.
 
It's just a fun old timer story.
I agree it didn't happen. It's sitting on 14" magnums, which are probably original. Drum brake car.
 
It is a really neat car. It's too bad it's too far gone to save.
 
Update; the good brother got mad about the deal because the guy chiseled off the one remaining 440 badge... he made him go get it
