There is one thing you did not mention. The real advantage of Muscle Cars back in the day was you went to the dealship, signed the finance sheet and drove home with a hot rod with a 50,000 mile waranty. No problems and no worries. The alternative had always been to build your own. You had to have skills, time and cash to build your own. It didn't kill hot rodding it just let more kids into the game. I was there back then.
