How many of you actually ever saw a real rare pontiac...
when you were growing up?
I remember one Judge i saw.
My first GTO had originally been a RA car, but the engine had been sold already for a good price before I got it.
Basically,
what I am saying is it was way more common for me to see a 68 Lemans someone had thrown a 455 from a land yacht in, or a Malibu with a 427 or 454 put in, or a regular 400 GTO than to see a Judge, RA GTO, or true SS Chevelle.
but it was the 80s when I was a teen, and a very small town, country area. What I am getting at, is that if you were a teen in the 60s and 70s and from a bigger area, did you actually see a lot of the top shelf stuff,
or,
was it like where I was in the 80s where the baddest car was likely a 70 NOVA with a 427 from a totalled Impala in it or something else along the "home made muscle" lines.
Now, don't get me wrong, plenty of 442s, big block Chargers, Chevelles etc. had their day in my area when I was a kid, and some were still kicking around in my teens-
but's it like we did not even know about bobcats, copos, yenko, LS6, RAIV, etc.

 "Yes, it's a real GTO. I know the scoops, spoiler, exhaust tips, and rear wheels are wrong. Umm, sure it's the 'big block' 400, you are quite the expert. I am driving in the rain, at night, running errands, with the kids who are eating and having ice cream in the back, after going to the drag strip, burning rubber, and blowing donuts. Do you really think it's numbers matching all original?"
