I agree completely. I had that thought to, when I drove my friend Hans LS-5 -71 last summer.
But my new ride is a -69, a 396 SS. From the factory it was fathom green with black vinyl top, and a four on the floor. But now it´s red with an automatic. It has made 10.20 on the strip. The last time it had the rearbumper on the ground.
All steel, except the hood.
