Wow! Talk about a flashback to the past.
I remember seeing these great racing machines during the "pony car wars" of the late '60s and early 70's.
They were formidable beasts, and all the Detroit factories were players. Invoking the NASCAR idiom of "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday", they hired the best drivers in the business, and from all disciplines. Parnelli Jones, Dan Gurney, Mark Donahue, Peter Revson, George Follmer, David Pearson, Swede Savage, Sam Posey and Jerry all slugged it out on the best road courses in America.
Lots of great stories from that era. Google it sometime.
