Re: my 1967 triple black ss427
Rick, I hear you loud-n-clear on owning many cars throughout the years. I, too, have owned many, many cars that "didn't matter" much when I had them. The restorations back then were more for "eye candy" than for the "correctness". I remember back in the '80s I did a small block '69 Pace Car and I bought some incidentals from a fellow in northern VA that had "the" (don't know if there were more than just this one at the time; still don't) P-O-P machine with tons of blank tape and cards. He, myself, and a "then" well-known Camaro guy were joking about how nobody would ever fake anything for a small block car, let alone something as trivial as a P-O-P for a small block anything.......I'm not sure that the "then" owner of the P-O-P machine ever did make any of them; it was explained to me that he kinda had it as a novelty. My word!, how this hobby has changed (and in some aspects maybe NOT for the better).
