again not to hijack but I too have a funny story about old chevy boys talking thru their buttcrack.
when I had finally got my 71 'cuda restified & on the road I put it in a Super Chevy Show, the only Mopar there & I put it at the end of a line of 60's Crumaros. these 2 old fossils were talking as they checked each car out til they got to my 'cuda. "that's one of them 1970 'Cameros' they built before GM went on strike", sez the older looking fossil, "that's a rare piece of machinery, they made bugga all of them before the strike & when the strike was over they moved onto the 1970 1/2 model". he ranted onto his mate for ages about it, ignoring the personalised # plate reading 71CUDA. maybe if I had cataracts I might see the evolution of a 69 Crumaro to an E body but this old boy was on a roll, probably made his day too lol.
