I hear you there.
All there were back in the 70's were the cool cars, wicked cars, and the
stupidly fast cars. "Nobody" cared about numbers back then, just how fast it was, who it beat on the street, how well it could hook, and how nice the paint was.
Paint was a biggy, and if it was custom (i.e. House of Kolors Candy) it "always" drew a crowd.
I liked those days.
