I lived it. Still got the car !!!
Any chance of a photo or two? All the photos of "back then" are paper photos. Currently I'm redoing the car and it looks like this:

you mean "purple hornies" ? Purple Hornies sound great. And I think I saw that they are being made again!

Air shocks to compliment the excessively wide tires, mounted on the improperly backspaced deep-dish mag wheels.

Here's some 'day two' from these parts...
With a license plate in back...
Just saw him out the other day...
A little on the radical side... Doesn't look like a day 2 car to me, that's years later people were doing this stuff.

I was looking through some of the ignition parts I have for my Pro Stock Hemi project to see what would suit & need some input please. I think the mag would be too much, is the Mallory double life too old? How about one of the tach drive units, I have factory cast & aftermarket alloy units. I think I have one of these coils hidden away somewhere, is this the right one?

Yes that is a super coil but the decal looks newer than the 1970 one that I still run on my Barracuda. But, who would know that it's not old school.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Make sure you stick some white lights w/toggle on the dash mounted down on the back of the traction bars or hook a toggle to the reverse lights so you can cruise with them on meaning you are looking for a race.

Eddy T7(?) intake maybe Holley SD intake, holley 850 , mallory ignition .MT or Holley cast covers or Moroso tin Definately a purple cam 😂 How hard to get old stuff in nz ?
Tex I think the old Edelbrock TM6 ("B" block) or TM7 (RB Block) single plane really look period correct to me. I though they called them Tarantula intakes? Cable tach drive dist. Mushroom lifter cam
