Only 24 years here! But I enjoy the muscle cars. Dad had a nice Nova which he wreaked and sold for $250 to which his twin brother did the same to his own Mach 1. And my dad and my oldest uncle both had Chevelles which the wreaked and sold for next to nothing later. Now those are worth a crap load. Not sure what options they had but none the less they are a pricey classic. And amazingly my dad has a 1974 Camaro sitting in the garage he has been restoring for over 15 years. Impossible to find parts for! Some parts from the earlier fit and some from the later fit but some are evidently '74 only parts. I think it will be worth quite a bit eventually. Just so darned hard to find body parts for! Good buddy of my dad's has a Super-B to this day! And my brother-in-law's dad had one of those L88 optioned Vettes which he sold for about $4000 years ago and it is now worth what? Serious $$$!! I guess I don't really know the serious specs on the engines and such, just picked up a bit here and there from dad and his buddies from when they were in the Mud Racing years... when it first started out anyways. Dad got out quick but our good friend ended up being World Champ a year or two, Mike Erdelyi driving the Mud Shark. Was a Vette body by the way. Built the whole thing a mile down the road. Started with a 502 Chevy but gave way to a Keith Black Hemi. Talk about heart stomping when he took it out to test her. Nothing like being in a shop at 3 am before having to leave for Ohio or Indy at 5 am and firing that baby up. Learned a lot from those guys. Erdelyi comes by now and then and often is still back at the shop where it all started tinkering on someones car or truck. One of the smartest selftaught mechanics I have ever met. Gotta keep on keeping on!
