You're right, Matt. Yes, I'm exaggerating a little but there are many of these cars, more than when they were new, or so it seems.

I respect everyone's tastes and preferences but personally I wouldn't think twice about pulling the power plant and putting it in a Newport 
. Guess I'll need some form of protection program now....
It's OK, don't be afraid to agree

I still have mine from waaaay back in the 80s. It was a better car to drive a distance at 21 years old than it is as a 51 years old.
That being said a big block and that pistol grip in one of these sit on the floor cars, are still a blast to drive.

Happy birthday. Perhaps a few more and you'll get it.

I totally disliked E-bodies when they were new.
Thought they were crappy cars then. And still do.
Thats why there's so many replacement parts for them now.

You couldn’t be more wrong Stan, those cars weren’t built to even still exist 45+ years later. The replacement parts are available strictly because the demand is high.

The C body crowd is a slippery bunch.
Cars were deigned to last 3-5 years and the expectation was for the owner to buy a new car.
The Army Test Center conducts Accelerated Corrosion Testing for military vehicles and equipment as well as civilian vehicles and equipment. The vehicles and equipment are able to be corrosion tested for 22 years worth in 200 days. You wouldn't believe what happens to these vehicles. Some tests have to be stopped before the 22 year mark because the frame is so corroded and falling apart.
ATC- Accelerated Corrosion Complex
Accelerated Corrosion Complex
Provides aggressive controlled exposure of corrosive conditions to land systems to hasten their weathering process and determine susceptibility to the environments
- Fifteen test cycles replicate one year of field corrosion
- Twenty-two year corrosion assessment in 200+ days
Incorporated into Durability Test cycle comprised of selected test courses
Includes a series of individual corrosive environments:
- Mist booth – 60 by 15 by 15 ft up to 3-min mist applied to top and vertical surfaces
- Splash trough - 75 by 20 ft with solution depth up to 2 in. subjected to undercarriage
- Grit trough - 75 by 14 ft with slurry depth up to 8 in. subjected to undercarriage
- Humidity booth - 40 by 20 by 20 ft up to 165 oF and 1 to 2 mL/hr condensate
- Deep water fording basin - 190 by 22 ft with adjustable water depth up to 84 in. and 3 percent NaCl replicates ocean environment
- Endurance Course - Includes multiple courses of varying roughness ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 inches root mean square roughness magnitude
Facilities and equipment provide identification, analysis, and documentation of corrosion

I missed this until now... Happy B-day buddy... sorry no car from here.
Tell you what though, at Carlisle 2018, you can just go sit in whichever you like... Tell them we said it was OK.
