Got three gens now. I'd love to have one of each.
My next target is something like a 70-73 LT-1 or big block.
I would REALLY like to have my '67 back (small block with factory auto, air & power, and rare factory installed big block hood).
My wife is nuts about the C1's, and would like one of those
Heck, I wanna be Jay Leno...
