who is into "later" cars

I love the beak cars. I think they look as good as the older cars.
I don't like the bumperettes and the heavy bumpers though, but that's easy to get around.........
Heck, i love all of the A-Bodies '67 to '76.
If any of you died in the wool pre '72 fans like the '67 to '69 Barracudas, they are the first beak cars.
The hood on my '74 Dart Sport fits a '69 Barracuda, so it has to be!
Advantages outweigh the negatives in my opinion on the '73 and up cars.
The biggest advantage is with the big bolt pattern brakes and suspension on the '73 and up cars.
I have no use for the small bolt pattern anything on the older cars with the weaker studs in the axles etc.
Electronic ignition and spool mounts for the engines and transmissions were a great plus as well as hardened seats in the heads for unleaded gas.
If you modify an older car as well as a newer car to take advantage of all of the positives from all years, then you will have the best of both worlds.
Get rid of the small bolt pattern, the points ignition, and the biscuit mounts on an older A-Body and install the big bolt pattern brakes and suspension, electronic ignition, spool mounts out of a '73 and up and then you will have something.
A lighter car with the higher compression engine with these upgrades would be a big plus.
Don't get me wrong, i like the pre '72 cars as well as the newer ones, but they both have their issues........
I just never liked the '66 and older cars.
JMHO,
Tom.
