<VV>Retro

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Why? The new Mustnag is retro, and meets all of today's standards. As will  
the new Challenger and Camaro. 
Retro works. Repro? Well, Dynacorn makes complete body shells for 67-69  
Firebirds, so...

Problem is all of the regulations that have come into effect  starting in 
1966 and continuing to this day. Things like the FMVSS that  gave us safety 
knobs on the dash up through the 1995 requirement  for  1998 cars and 1999 
light trucks to have dual air bags.

In other  words for GM to build a 57 Chevvy (or a 65 Corvair) today would 
either be  illegal, unrecognizable, or absurdly  expensive.
