It's pretty neat. Old cars are cool but ... they're so much cooler with modern running gear. Just my humble opinion. 68 through 74, before the emissions crap and after tweaking the old designs. Let's just say 1972. Those motors were the shit even though today's specs are tighter.
It's not that the motors were shit - they weren't. It's that the fuel delivery has gotten so much more precise. You don't wash down the cylinder walls anymore every time you start cold. Your oil as a result doesn't suffer from the extreme fuel dilution anymore. The assembly specs really haven't changed much at all.

Sorry. In the modern vernacular, "the shit" mean that they were very good. In this case, very good for their time.Originally Posted by W5GA
good visit to the past.
Just one thing missing in the magazines and movies, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth!

Oh gawd...CARtoons... With rear tires 4 feet high, 9 inch fronts, an engine that would have trouble fitting in a B-52 and of course the stick shift that came out the roof...heh...and kids everywhere drawing it on there notebooks!
Yeah...I'm a furry...Deal with it!
68 to 72? I doubt it. That was after the decline had happened. GM had quit racing and had banned multiple carbs, ergo, no tri-power. Golden days were before '66.
Especially taking into account styling changes dictated by safety regs. UGH!!!!!!!
If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
Not to mention the stickers.
I had Big Daddy stuff plastered all over the place like kids today have for skateboarding and snowboarding.
