I was there back in the day and went down and purchased my share of the new muscle cars. However, there were a couple that got a way. One was a maroon 1968 Corvette 427 with side pipes. I still dream about that one. It sat on the dealer's showroom and I can picture it like it was today. My wife said no. That wife is now gone! The other one was a 1969 AMX that I couldn't purchase due to Uncle Sam and the Draft breathing down my neck. However, I just found a barn find nearly identical to the order I wrote up but never submitted.

This would be equivalent to taking Chevrolet Cobalt and putting a Corvette Z06 engine in it." Well not exactly.The Nova was as big as the current Chevy Impala.The Nova 396 was rated at 350-375 Hp about the same as an Impala you can buy today. While the Zo6 is rated at 505 hp.Try putting that in your Cobalt and smoking it...... “Chevy placed an exceptionally large 396 cubic inch engine in its small Nova body.

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.
