Re: Just a hypothetical muscle car value question...
I've owned a balanced and blueprinted '68 Ram Air Firebird back in '68, a slightly warmed over 455 Lemans that was definitely qicker than our L78 Chevelle in a side by side run, a '72 Chevelle with a '68 MQ code L78, and have a '69 L78 Chevelle. Performance wise the Pontiac power performed the best. The 'bird could beat a local 427 powered '68 Chevelle by about a car length. For all out performance, the L78 probably has more potential.
Judge prices have gone sky high in the last few years. PHS probably has a lot to do with it. Even though the Pontiac is the rarer beast, there is an awfully strong Chevelle following that keeps the L78 prices up. Guaranteed, you won't have trouble selling either.
