One of the best driving cars I have had was my 70 Superbird it drove and rode better than my Chevelle. The car even still had bias ply tires and I was surprised it didnt feel like I was driving a big car.

I used this for my daily driver for 3 years till end of 2010 in the summers of SW Ontario Canada. Actually at the time, I also had a 1967 Ford F100 shortbox as my winter driver.

I have some pictures of my old '68 GTX clone B body from 2016. BUT will look at the house and see if I can get some older pictures from '83 when I owned it.

Hey! I have a Great Idea! Why don’t you sell those crappy Chevys in your signature and buy a GTX? Then you could live happily ever after.....

Don't need to sell. Just starting to look for one already. Prefer convertible.

Had a lot a cars in the 60/70 days, but looking back at all of them (camaros, novas, vette, fords, mopar) best all around muscle car I had was a 69 GTO. That car was just plain reliable, easy driving, and quick enough to enjoy.

My father bought his new, still has it. It was the family car for a couple decades, over 200k miles before he finally rebuilt/restored it. I'd bet if you ask him he'd tell you it's the best all around car he's ever had.
