The '69 is great when nice condition. My bud disassembled and reassembled one for a graduating project at school. Before radar, when the PD had to clock you, this car could snap around side streets faster than a speeding bullet. Big blocks screw up the handling on cars like that imo.
Could not agree more. Give me a mouse motor in one of those, especially since high HP on pump gas is no problemo these days.
