No idea what that crazy black "Y" brace is on the driver and passenger sides of the engine compartment. ??? Looks like it was designed to punch through the passenger compartment and skewer both the driver and passenger in the event of a head-on collision, though.

BTW another 1970 clue: the single snorkel air cleaner. the 71 and 72 455 HOs had the dual snorkel unit.
