    Went for $3550 - fairly cheap - these are popular these days.

    I never liked the greenhouse redesign on these. Apparently, they had to get rid of the pillarless 2-door hardtop design - shoulder harness mounting points, roll-over crush standards, who knows.......

    Interesting to note that it took 30+ years for Chevrolet to figure out they could reinforce the seat and mountings to allow belts to be attached to the seat, or built in.

    It was probably the advent of 'high-strength' steel that helped that along.
