I think they should have factored in parts availability and just general hot rod culture.
Having lived in So Cal for a number of years, it’s easy to hate on the stupid 76 and later rules. But dude, there is no Craigslist like Southern California Craigslist when it comes to hot rod parts.
Add to that, So Cal is steeped in early hot rod culture. There are lots of cool car people, museums, and famous spots.
