I've had enough of rbb bashing. I am terribly pleased with my '76 rbb
because I don't know any better. My '76 is the first one I bought and if my
SO has her way, the last. It serves me as I want it to and all you '67
fans are expressing what?
Yes, in the world of $$$, '67 will bring in more, but then you won't have
the car. I have mine to drive and it drives reliably. I've modified it with
antisway bars and with HIF's. Purist I am not, but I never intended to be.
Yes, it still is higher than a '67 and it still gives me room to make it
more mine (rebuilt engine with larger bore in the future). So I still
wonder what's the point of bashing...?? to say, in response to US
government dicta, MG debilitated a fine car into a good car? So what!
