I agree these old cars are death traps even with updated brakes, suspension and tires. Lots of people think they are built out of old heavy steel which they are, and can handle anything. With the engineering in newer cars with parts that are made to crumple and detach to deflect the impact are much safer. My brother is missing a foot or so of intestines from a head on collision in his 66 GTO with the solid steering column that does not collapse, then collapsible steering columns became mandatory in 1967. I too drive a 66 LS swapped GTO with all the upgraded suspension, brakes and tires, and a retrofitted collapsible steering column, but I find myself driving it less and less for the fear of something happening to it like in Andrews case, I don’t want to get hit by Bubba in his moms station wagon because he was high on meth and has no insurance. I probably will sell it and get my money and run, and as Andrew calls them, buy me an appliance that looks like every other appliance on the road, to be my daily driver.
