Very few performance models here in west Texas. This was/is truck country. Anything that was performance oriented here back in the day usually ended up getting used up and destroyed on the dirt track. A lot of the classic stuff i see now on cruise nights or at car shows is probably bought from somewhere else and brought here. Takes forever to piece together anything good out here. Its pretty awesome the stuff your finding up there. I mean a 74 duster 360 4 speed 8.25 sure grip car. That would have been long dead used up on our local dirt circle track circa 1984 and sent to the scrapper as a beat to **** shell with a booger welded well pipe casing roll cage, pipe bumpers, and hacked out wheel wells.
Now you can barely find any GM G bodies out here. Every cutlass, grand prix, regal, and monte carlo it seems ended up there, all of em with a riveted on plastic monte SS nose from speedway motors (how original). My brother flew out to visit, we went to the wrecking yard to get parts for an 87 monte SS he was restoring, couldent find anything, and there were a couple used up dirt track montes in the junkyard, i think i saw him shed a tear over that one.
