Default Re: 1969 Reggie Jackson ZL1

It always amazes me to see these high compression cars like the ZL-1 and the L-88s with so many miles? Assuming the owners didn't rebuild the engines and replace the pistons how did they find high octane gas in the early 70s and drive these things in normal traffic? I had a friend with a stock L-88 in the 70s and it was absolutely hilarious to see him try to drive it to work each day in traffic. This was before guys had one car for every day driving and one for weekends.
