Your Mach 1 must have been a Windsor and tired by '77. The '77 TA even with the W72 package (L78 engine) only had 200 horse power (though that is SAE net) where even a '69 351W had 290 gross ~230 net and the Mach 1 was at least 500 pounds lighter than a 77 TA.
Yes, one was a Windsor, not a Cleveland and it may have been tired. I ran it hard. I also had one with a 390. The torque...

IIRC the Daytona and Superbird were both outlawed by NASCAR because they possessed many huge advantages in aerodynamics at the racetrack. I believe the main reason though was that the rear spoilers created a vacuum behind the car which took away the opposing drivers ability to draft behind them The vacuum caused the opposition's cars to overheat due to lack of cooking air to the radiators.
At least that's what I was told back in the day
