   We didn't have any small kids when we got those cars, so the back seat in   
   either wasn't a problem. We did have two small ones when we bought the 68   
   Camaro and did travel cross country with it. Stepson was around 6 and our   
   daughter was 3 at the time.

   That's what mine was, originally. When I got it, someone had swapped a 305   
   in it.

   Some people I know have illusions of granduer and think that 267 could be   
   a performance engine. 8^)
