A man after my own heart. I currently own 69 Hurst/Olds #43. But they all looked like this.
I grew up in the "gas embargo" years and we were left buying people's gas hogs. I had a 64 Chevelle SS I got for $350, then sold that to buy a 69 442 4-speed I bought for $500. The school parking lot was full of late 60s, early 70s iron like 69 road runners, 67 Chevelle SS's, one bad ass 70 Chevelle SS 454 (ugly dark green but that thing was FAST!). The exits of the parking lot were always black with burnout rubber! Kids today would crap their pants if they saw all that iron at their school today. (and a lot of interiors back then smelled like some sort of medicinal herb). Looked more like a car show than a parking lot.
