I am the thrid owner of my 69 428 cj. My dad was the second. The car got blown up in 1977 (wich was my dads fault not the cars.) Now that it has been put together properlay by the right people (Blair speed shop Pasadena, CA) I have been able to drive an old big block ford with 4.30 gears (3500 rpms at 55 mph) throught the middle of the desert without overheating. This is 110 dagrees outside at 200 o'clock in august. Now u tell me witch is the better built car. One of those imports or mine? I do mean with out a stumble too. A three hour drive throught the So Cal desert without a hicup at 3500 rpms. No there is no such import.
