My old 70 GTX had 11.20 time slips in the glove box when I bought it! It had a Hurst Ram Rod shifter with reverse lockout,mounted in the E body position,next to the seat,and a Dana 60 with 4.88 gears,and slicks on 450 wheels,with screws in them!
 
My friend just finished the restoration of his 70 V code GTX 4 speed, Dana car,which we were told was a regular at Connecticut Dragway back in the day.
