Cool.
I don't recall ever seeing one with that stripe before.

I'm pretty sure there were no cars available with trips from any GM makes in '67 except the Corvette. No hardtops, no converts, no nuthin'.

There were NO 67 tri-powers on any 67GTO sold to the public.

I think he means a 300 series stainless steel vs. the 400 series usually used. 304 is used a lot in food service. Most pipes IIRC are 409, cheaper and slight magnetic.

yes.

They have a hell of a following - think 64-72 A body of the Honda world, and that one is the equivalent of a 7,000 mile 1970 LS6 in their eyes.

We sell quite a few Honda kits because of this.

Yup- those cars are the future of our hobby

Makes sense on the 300 series stainless. I hadn’t thought about that. We use 304 on our couplings we manufacture and use a magnet to show our competitors inferior product

1965 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible, MUSCLE CAR, Black with red interior, one owner, one driver, no one else has driven this car but me. I took a train to Detroit Michigan and drove the car home when I was in my senior year of college. It has the 421 engine, 338 hp, 4 barrel Carter Carburetor, 4 speed Hurst transmission on the floor, factory tachometer, 8 lug wheels with air cooled brakes, positive rear end traction, dual exhaust, 6 way power seats, power windows, a glass back window, power top, power antenna, leather seats, AM/FM radio with rear speaker, original spare tire, The outside and inside of the car has never been touched, the motor has never been touched, It is completely factory stock. It has 60,000 miles and I put approx 100 miles a year on the car driving it only in the summer and storing it in my garage when not in use. I'm retired and down sizing. I'm giving someone else a chance to own this beauty.

I sent that to a friend of mine, and he said “that’s what I think about your muscle car.”

I had the ‘94 model of that Civic, except I sprung for the anti-lock brakes - which came in handy a few times. The car served me well but, in hindsight, it was a total POS. 2nd worst car I ever owned. So underpowered that turning off the AC while at WOT felt like hitting a nitrous button.

I think I’m starting to understand people who don’t “get” old cars.

That Bonneville is a beautiful car. Do they really bring that much $, though?
