Here's my '72:
It hasn't been driven in a while (gotta finish some work to get it running again), but I've driven it from SoCal up to NorCal and back, plus plenty of around-town driving.
Dang, I need to get it up and running again...

Put around 1,000 miles on the '79 since Friday.
Drove from Las Vegas to Ventura, CA.
Grant Park, Ventura:
Silver Strand Beach, Oxnard/Pt. Hueneme:
From Ventura, I headed south on 101 to Thousand Oaks where I cut across the mountains to Malibu, CA. Part of that leg was this run on Mulholland Highway:
Malibu:
Took PCH all the way down to San Diego with the exception of a miserable leg on the 405. I didn't have an opportunity to take any photos of the car in San Diego.
Drove from San Diego back to Vegas this afternoon/evening and somewhere on I-15 a C4 ZR1 with an LT5 played with me and that was fun.
No mechanical issues at all. The only problem I had on the whole trip was the amp overheating when I was cranking the bass too hard.
Earplugs were a godsend.
Got a lot of use of 6th gear blasting through the desert!

Reading through this thread prompted me to upload a GoPro video I took last weekend. Here is a freeway video showing its manners with the current engine / T56 / 3.36 setup. Go to 3:45 see 6th gear.
