Re: Original miles "really" matter on a restored car?
Keith,
So, absolutely true! That's why I love the '71 LS6 Corvettes. They are similar to the '69 Camaro ZL-1's. A wolf in sheeps clothing. Very plain appearing on the exterior, but under all that clothing is a beast at heart!
But I also love all the graphics and loud color paint schemes. My heart jumps at seeing a Lemon twist AAR Cuda with that mat black paint and strobe stripes. I love that P51 Mustang fighter belly scoop inspired hood on the T/A Challengers, the clothes hanger wings of the Daytona and Superbird. I love the Grabber colors of the Mustangs, with rear window slats, shaker hoods, the '71 gull wing design spoiler of the 'cuda's. The great looking naca duct hoods of the '69, '70 Shelbys and their side scooped breathern of '67 & '68.
But what I'm most proud of are the rare HD desireable mechanical pieces that GM, Ford & Chrysler put into these great automobiles! M22 heavy duty transmissions, HD dual plate clutches, magnetic pulse transistorized ignition systems, aluminum heads, etc, etc,.
I'm am so fortunate to have been around during the greatest car decade ever!
