Lucky Me, Now What
I initially believed all the stuff about bad handling etc.
My car was a 74 A body, subframe connectors, manual steering, rebuilt rear springs and CE drag shocks. Tight bushings and tie rod ends and the stock /6 torsion bars.
With a 440 it was very driveable and rode decently. I did not try any high G corners or anything, but it was fine. I could have easily drove it daily and done so safely.
I think alot of the stuff about bad handling comes from comparing the car to modern vehicles and driving them like a modern car. Also, these cars are 40 years old and many have worn out parts.
My car at least was surprising how well it did drive. I'd build another in a second.
