Good catch on the shoulder belt use. Love to know the point of that in the ad.

With insurance companies bearing down on the manufactureres of muscle cars, GM undoubtedly wanted to promote safety by showing the availability and use of then-modern safety equipment such as the shoulder belts. Strictly a promotional consideration by GM corporate leadership. "See, we're responsible."
As for going back in time, if we could there would be tens of thousands of '69 L89/M22/4:10 Posi SS Chevelles out there (and thousands of Motions, Nickeys, Bergers, Harrells, Yenkos) and they'd all be as common as belly buttons. I would have five, no, ten of each myself!
