And I've already seen them tubbed with 4 links & solid axles, by both look-at-me builders and real racers.

Jeff, I see all these stupid 'collector' versions out there no. Nickey, Yenko (really, that one is borderline offensive to me), and so forth. BFD. Collectors get their panties wet just thinking about it. Yea! A few bolt-on HP or a GM crate LS9, stripes, wheels & look at me crap. Maybe better brakes. At least the 4th gen Harrell cars had the cool flares and such, and generally unobtainium engines for that time. Too bad most of those live in garages & trailers too. I'd wager most 69 Camaro COPOs/Yenkos/ZL1s/etc. were driven and/or raced like there were intended.

I totally get treating them good now, 40 years later when they represent the best there was, not is. Restored they are time capsules. But these new collector cars represent the worst in the car hobby to me.

Yea, no LT1.
