I had the L78 ordered for a long time. Didn't show up until June. Had about 5k on it when we met a bridge. Took the insurance money, borrowed some, and bought the deuce. My insurance actually went down because it was a non SS plain ole 350. Don was right. They were insurance beaters.
I didn't buy the deuce until April of 71, so no, I didn't actually buy both in 70.
