My uncle bought a new vet in 1970. Gold with black interior and a white convertible top. He could only afford one option at the time and so he chose the 454 ( or 455) big block. 4 Speed. No a/c. Because of the big block it was a rare bird. Hw just sold it last year with less than 50,000 original miles. All original. Never painted or anything. I have no idea what he sold it for.
