RARE 340 wedge car???
Back in the DAY! Which was many many years ago! The insurance was cheaper on certain cars and cars with certain options! High Performance cars with auto and 3 speed trans the insurance was cheaper, you were asked certain questions back then and you had to be honest because if you were not and the car was wrecked and did not have the options you described when you purchased the insurance they would not pay out the claims! Elcaminos came with the same options as chevelles! Such as in 1970 when Chevrolet made the LS6,If you got a chevelle with a LS6 the insurance was higher than an ELCamino with a LS6! Just because it was registered as a TRUCK That is also one reason the BIG 3 started telling WHITE LIES about HORSEPOWER so people could get insurance on the cars.Then in around 1973 all vehicles started to go way down in HP because of the insurance and emissions controls. A lot of people that thought they could drive found out they really could not and a lot of HIGH HP Vehicles were wrecked because of the driving inabilities. I remember many nice HP cars that were totaled out because of the owners inability to handle the HP.Tires were a problem back then also, you just could not get much traction on what was availiable back then! Man if they just had some good drag radials back then! A lot of cars could have been saved from being wrecked for lack of traction!Back then you could do burnouts for many many feet with the old polyglas tires and some cars would just never stop burning the tires till you lifted off the gas pedal. Those were the good old days that is for sure! You could buy a nice home for $25000.00 a new high performance car for $2500.00 to $3200.00 and a HEMI for just a little more! Then with the HEMI you were guaraunteed to get very little traction! LOL You could fill you tank up for $ 3.00 and runaround all night,get a Cheeseburger basket and coke for .75 cents or take your favorite girl out for a nice dinner for $3.00 go to the movies for a .25 cents.Damn those were the days! Ryan you got a really cool car,restore it ,drive it and enjoy it! Any 340 car is COOL and worth restoring if in decent shape.As far as getting GG documents I would not spend my hard earned dollar there but then that is up to you! GG does what he does and we all do what we do.You can certainly document your car and proove it is legit without GG paperwork. Looks like you will have a really cool car when it is all restored! I love the COLORS on the car,That ORANGE is hard to beat! Good Luck
