Dont I wish I had bought one of those but I was driving a brand new Vette at the time so the insurance couldnt have been any worse than mine. My 68 Z-28 insurance was about the same as the Vette. 350 cubes and 350 HP with a 4 speed in the Vette. I was about 23 years old at that time and single.
Where I grew up, on Long Island, you could get all the big block cars you wanted from Baldwin, but you had to take out a second loan to get insurance if you could find a company that would write you policy. It was the biggest deterent of buying any performance car. BTW, in street racing, Chevy never built any 427s, you always swore that you had a 396/325 hp powered car.

My point is that the cars in stock today aren't being controlled by the insurance companies because they aren't factory built cars for use on the street.
