I was talking about Daily Driven cars. I drove my 1965 GTO 40 miles each way to work 5 days a week 12 months a year through NE weather. This included at times 12 inches of snow. In fact with real snow tires, 4 spd and 3.55 limited slip it was very good in the snow. We didn't have "good tires" or good exhaust. We never changed the converter. If we did it was to install a 6 cylinder one from I believe a Power Glide. Didn't last long. It was illegal to have "cut outs" on your exhaust. The biggest tires at the time we could use were M/T 28x7 cheater slicks. My wife's mini van has better tires. Don't compare the 1970's or 1980's with the 1960's.
