Back in 1974 when my kid was 16 and working in a repair shop after school an old guy came in with a 67 camero with the hideaway headlights and wanted the trailer hitch removed as he was trading it in on a bigger vehicle to tow his trailer. My son told him he would pay him what ever he was offered on a trade and bought it for $600. It was a very rare factory equipped 396 with the 4 speed.
Son nearly killed himself and a couple of friends when the brakes faded on a panic stop from a 120 mph. He sold it for $1,800 a couple of weeks later only to open a Car Craft Mag to see they were extremely rare and worth at least $3,000 at that time.
The old man put 3 clutches in it trying to tow a little travel trailer. As you know the trailer hitch hangs off the bumper? and I would not tow a paper bag with it...

Nothing like the look of a Coupe without the B Pillar.
The 2010 Camaro concept had no B pillar, but the production version has to because of the Government mandated roof strength standards. The irony is, they can build a Convertible with no roof at all. No problemo.
I hate the Gubmint. I miss the good old days.
Of course, the Mercedes Coupes have no B pillar, but they're built like tanks.
