As much as we think things have changed over the years and they have a little. They really haven’t.
We all know the story of the Muscle Car Era. coming to an abrupt end. Gasoline crisis of the 70’s and insurance companies. Blah, blah, blah.
Well look at the price of gas now and look at the horsepower that the new Dodge Challenger makes, 900 freaking horsepower on a street driven car !!!
Well you could say, more average young people had easier access to the cars back in the late 60’s putting fear into insurance companies. Well, there’s more people out there today than one might think that have that kind of money at a young age to own a modern Challenger. Or it’s their daddy’s car, etc.
I just put this into perspective. A lot really hasn’t changed. We have motorcycle’s today that do 170mph bone stock that are easily insured.
Gas is probably nearly just as unaffordable to a lot of people.
A lot has changed in the world we live in today. But, as stupid as it sounds. Most major conflicts in today’s society really haven’t changed a lick. Regardless of it involving auto’s, housing, domestic or worldly relations, how we treat people around us. It’s all the same now. There’s just little tweaks. People are dumb as ever, things are expensive as ever, people are racist as ever, etc. etc. etc. Things haven’t changed much. But, we always think they have.
Maybe a lot more major crimes, ignorance, greed and self righteousness. But, everything else is exactly the same. Just twisted a tad. I know this topic is kind of political. But, it is related to the 68-70 era I’m partially referencing. Point is, a lot of instances. Things haven’t changed as much as we sometimes think.

We still had E and B bodies, and A's too for that matter, but it's not the same if you have to provide the drivetrain!
