Why the /6
next month i'm finally bringing home my '70 with a /6 and couldn't be happier to keep it a /6. besides #s matching being a reason to keep it a /6 (not many of the 2nd gen /6 e-bodies left, most were upgraded by guys who wanted a v8 ... so my hats off to them for helping make mine much more rare :) ), I can 'build' it for much cheaper than upgrading to a v8 (k-member, tranny, rear end, driveshaft, front electrical, and a couple other things I'm forgetting .... e-body parts are not cheap when you find em), it will be extremely unique at shows and gatherings, because it is a 'bare bones' no option Barracuda I can drive it daily with less headaches and worries that something might happen to a 'rare' car and get better gas mileage in the meantime.
