Driving my car...looking for opinions

[Yenkofan]

I am the proud owner of a 69 Yenko camaro.
I bought the car in order to relive my youth a little and have some fun. I live in Los Angeles and therein lies most of the problem.
When I drive the car to any show more than five miles away I'm scared xxxxless.
The reason is that I can only go 60 mph with the 4:10 gears and I hate driving on the repro 1969 tires. Cars and trucks come up on me fast and it's scary. Too much traffic is also scary
Looking for opinions especially from those who do drive their cars:
Do I stop driving the car?
Make it a trailer queen?
Change the tires and rear end gears making it less original but more drivable?
Thanks in advance...
Gary
