One thing to keep in mind is that back in the 70's, the longnoses were plentiful and relatively cheap. Back then, we were just guys playing with cars...so if you wanted to modify, nobody criticized. Heck, at the '71 Parade, there were plenty of modified from stock cars in the concours. Modified in both appearance and performance ways. It was really more of a clean your car contest over correct bolt stampings...not neatly the originality extent of today.
We also didn't have a clue that the longnose 911 would be considered the desired collector car it is today.
