Worst trends in hot rodding over the years

I've always wanted a dead base model 68, 383 4 speed with 3.91 gears. Bone stock.
I once had that. But a '68 Satilite. (Another one I wish I still had.) It replaced my '66 GTO 389 4-speed both 3.73:1 gears. We raced the two a few times. It was a good race. The Satilite was quicker. But had less rear tire. So GTO would always hole shot it. And the chase was on.

Those were fun late 70s/early 80s times. Just graduated high school.

Unfortunately this RR would got whipped by either of my clunkers from the past.
