#1 Sepulveda BLVD in L.A. between S.F. valley and Santa Monica.
#3 is a 413 S/S dodge
#4 is a 32 ford coupe
409's originated as a 348 in 1958
I think the T-bird had a 312"... or maybe a 352.
Sorry I don't know them all

Re: Time for Trivia. Tunes (bluevetteman)
Those are correct. The 413 was quite a hot engine in the early 1960s. I believe it was called a wedge engine. Deuce is from the 2 in 32. The 409 came from the 348; and both had origins in truck applications. And I believe the T-Bird engine was indeed a 312cid.
Both the 348 and T-Bird were linked in the movie American Graffitee with Ronny Howard and Suzanne Sommers.

Re: Time for Trivia. Tunes (paul67)
The 0-60 time for the GTO was 4.6 seconds. That is either nonsense or it was quite a car. Gotta Drive is not a well known song. I believe it was the musings of Jan and Dean with respect to the romance associated with racing in California in the early 1960s: boy, girl and race track. And whatever car was being driven must have been quite something: "I'm taching seven grand but its not enough...."

Re: Time for Trivia. Tunes (Desertdawg)
Dawg,
I pop those songs on the stereo about once a month. They remind me of kinder, gentler times when my only worry was where to find $3.00 to fill the gas tank. And the history assignment for school of course.

If I had any change at all in my pocket I had enough to fill up my CB-160 Honda :D

Since the song was from '64, it either has to be a 426 or a 383.
>Beach Boys-Little Deuce Coupe What is a deuce coupe?
'32 Ford Coupe
>Beach Boys-409 What was the origin of this engine? Hint: American Graffitti.
I think you're going for 1958 Impala, which had a 348ci. The 348 was enlarged to a 409ci, which was available in the Impala until mid-year '65, when it was replaced with the 396ci.
>Beach Boys-Fun Fun Fun What engine was in that T-Bird?
The Y-8 292ci or 312ci...since the song never mentions what year the T-bird was.

What engine was in that Super Stock Dodge?
If it was a '63 then it was a 413 Max Wedge with the factory crossram and two AFB carbs and cast iron headers.
I had one of the factory SS 413 cars and it came heater-radio-wiper delete and came from the factory with a B&M prepped push button trans and Super Sun Tach. I bought the car in 1986 and it had 606 miles on it and had never been titled for the street, it still had the MOS with it. HelluvCar

Re: Time for Trivia. Tunes (paul67)
The song was written, recorded and based on a real lady in 1964 (who incidentally actually drove a '32 Ford roadster, but that's beside the point,) and the lyrics specify a "brand new shiny red super stock Dodge" which would indicate that the car was also a 1964.
So it's not a max-wedge!
