Just plain cool

I remember back in high school when millions of cars like this were still on the road. I'd give up the modern automotive landscape in an instant to be back "there"....

Awww, come on... Today we have SatNav! Makes your trips longer! And better fuel economy! That old Ventura with a 6 and economy gears likely got about 24 mpg... today the Impala is the same size and gets... about 25. Both seat five... as long as you don't have to use the back seat of the Impala for your luggage.

Yeah, I still wish we still lived in that time.

Or else, I just want a garage-sized time machine.

If I had this car, I'd probably leave the outside appearance stock... for sleeper appeal. Leave most of the interior vintage, as well. But imbue the drivetrain and suspension with modern tech. A aftermarket aluminum 455... Holley FI... TCI 6x with the paddle shifters... but with numerically lower gears, so it still gets good mileage. Lots of Performance Engineering parts, since so much is shared with the F-bodies. Aftermarket AC and a completely hidden stereo. So there is nothing to distract you from driving it once you tune the FI and tranny with your laptop.
