Default Re: lemans skylark cutlass COPO?

Royal Pontiac, Knafel Pontiac and others were right in the thick of it pre'70 w/428 transplants in both FB and LeMans/Tempest/GTO.

In '70 the base GTO engine could be ordered in the tempest, in '71 the 455HO was available in any A body 2 dr (T-37, LeMans)(HT,Sedan,Conv) and in '72 the same was available in LeMans except for the Luxury LeMans. In '72 you had to order the endura nose w/RA but not in '71. Don't thing any other auto maker had that for '71/'72. If so would like to hear about it.

I like the wierd ones like the Chevelle 300 w/SS package or the '70 1/2 Falcon (Torino) sedan w/429 SCJ.

Unfortunately, today you have to order a 'package' to get any performance. Sure miss the 'good' old days.

Olds had the '70 Cutlass SX.
