[SS427]

Boy is this going to be a long thread. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Put it this way, how many new Vettes, Camaros, Firebirds, Mustangs, etc, etc do you see on the road today? Now multiply that by a couple and you get the picture. In 1981, it was not that uncommon for me to go out on a typical Friday night cruise in my '69 SS(427) Chevelle and get into several races or "jaunts" with other '69 owners. Just going through a shopping mall parking lot in itself could be a joy as there were musclecars everywhere. Supercars on the other hand were quite rare. Unless you knew what to look for (or hear) you wouldn't know it sometimes anyway. In my neighborhood, it was even common place to have high performance garage sales where people sold used speed parts out of their garage, sort of a mini swap meet.
